The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on Nigerians to elect good leaders at all levels of governance during the 2019 general elections.
The APC National Publicity Secretary Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu made the call in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday to felicitate with Muslim Ummah on the occasion of Maulud which marked the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
“With the official flag off of political campaigns ahead of the 2019 general elections, we are at a critical juncture where we must make the right choice in who leads us at all levels of governance.
“We must be wary of the empty promises and antics of the same people who oversaw the ruining of the country and now parade themselves as newly-converted saints with promises of a Nigerian Eldorado.
“Our hat trick victories in the bye-elections conducted last Saturday in Katsina, Bauchi and Kwara states are yet another solid expression of the continued support larger sections of Nigerians have for the Change Agenda of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration. We must build on this momentum and support going into the general elections.
“With the launch of the APC manifesto for the 2019 election campaign tagged #NextLevelNigeria, we are now faced with a choice of returning the President Buhari administration which is rebuilding the country in all facets; has broken from our tainted past; chosen accountability over waste; probity over impunity and the people over a self-serving cartel,” said Issa-Onilu in the statement.
He called on Muslims and indeed all Nigerians irrespective of religious affiliations to apply the teachings of Prophet Muhammad which borders on peaceful coexistence, tolerance, justice, charity and piety as they collectively work for the peace, progress and development of Nigeria.
