briefings, he came to inform Buhari about the group and his
appointment as the head.

“I know he has not made up his mind but I can say that some of
us can assist him in making up his mind so that Nigeria can
continue to enjoy stability and progress in our land,’’ Shittu told
newsmen in Abuja.

Shittu, who described President Buhari as ““Saviour’’ of
Nigerians, said the South West Zonal office of the campaign

““Every day since he came into office all his activities are
geared towards letting Nigeria know that they have a saviour, a
rescuer, somebody who is committed to providing relief for
Nigerians in all respects.

““These include fighting corruption, insurgency; whether in the
North East or the Niger Delta; in the area of repairing the economy
and providing jobs and providing social stability in the
society.

“”You will agree with me that today but for Buhari Boko Haram
would have invaded even Lagos.’’

seek re-election to enable him complete his good works to
Nigerians.

He added: ““It goes without saying I mean if you have a child
who goes to primary school does well, proceeds to secondary school
does well, and you keep asking is he going to university?

“”By the grace of God, we his ardent supporters who appreciate
his worth on behalf of millions of Nigerians, would urge him to
re-contest.
