Why there is no alternative to Buhari-Osinbajo, by forum

A pro-Buhari Osinbajo group, No Alternative to Buhari/Osinbajo 2019 (NATBO 2019), has said the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice President Yomi Osinbajo in 2015 was a divine intervention.

A statement by NATBO’s president Vincent Uba urged Nigerians to support Buhari’s re-election.

The statement reads: “God gave us a man who, together with his vice, and team, led concerted and sustained military onslaughts against the Boko Haram insurgency. Today, Boko Haram has been diminished, captured towns recovered and refugees returned home.

“God gave us a man with prudence and financial discipline, who deployed these qualities to tackle the effects of the fall in crude oil price and wriggle out of recession.

“No sooner had this man become president than he dealt with corruption. Today, this fight against corruption is yielding positive results, as those known to have looted the treasury are being unmasked, prosecuted, and the loot being recovered.

“It is no longer business as usual as government parastatals and agencies now remit funds due to the Federal Government via the Treasury Single Account (TSA), instead of multiple bank accounts which made it easier for funds to be diverted to private accounts.”

The group lauded Buhari/Osinbajo for bringing disciplined and prudent management of the county’s scarce resources, pragmatically addressing the problems of the already battered economy.
