An All Progressives Congress(APC) group Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Council in Ekiti State has said that President Buhari remains fit and mentally sound to lead the country for another four years. This is contrary to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s tirade that he is sick and can’t cope with the rigour of governance.

It also accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ekiti state chapter, of plotting to unleash violence in the state during the  presidential election, saying such would be frustrated by the good people of the state.

The Director General of the group, Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu and his Deputy Taiwo Olatunbosun, said they would use the elections to prove that the opposition party, PDP  is dead in Ekiti.

At Osinkolu said President Buhari has been campaigning round the country and that it was wrong for the opposition to brand the president as unfit.

“The president had been to Bauchi, Yobe and Kogi State campaigning to Nigerians on his reelection bid, can a sick man do all these?

“It is sad that former President Olusegun Obasanjo could say all these. In 2007 elections, he told Nigerians that they should reject Alhaji Abubakar Atiku calling him a thief and now he is campaigning for the same person.

“Though, Obasanjo is free to express his opinion on state’s issues but he should rather act like a statesman”, he said.

He added that the former President was not qualified to speak about the health status of the president, since he was not a medical doctor.

“Where did former President got his information about President Buhari’s fitness? Was it from the Theology school he just attended?”, he asked.

He stated further that the coming elections will be a walkover for the APC in Ekiti and will become what he termed  ” end of discussion for the PDP”.

“The coming elections will silence opposition and its demagoguery. We shall go round Ekiti and showcase President Buhari’s achievements, which are felt everywhere.

” We heard about the plan of the PDP to invade Ekiti and we know that the present government and security agents checkmate them. The voice of the people must count in these coming elections and we are confident Buhari will win”.
