Fashola: Reelecting Buhari will ensure return of power to south-west in 2023

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on
Thursday, urged the people of South-West to vote for President
Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 elections to guarantee a return of
power to the region in 2023.

The minister stated this at a special town hall meeting on
infrastructure organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture
and the National Orientation Agency.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports the Minister of Information
and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, led three other ministers
including Fashola, Ministers of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and
Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, to the town hall meeting.

Fashola said besides, the massive investments by the Buhari
administration on infrastructure across the country and in the
South-West particularly, the region would benefit politically by
voting for Buhari.

The minister, who spoke in Yoruba language said: “Do you know
that power is rotating to the South-West after the completion of
Buhari’s tenure if you vote for him in 2019?

“A vote for Buhari in 2019, means a return of power to the South
West in 2023. I am sure you will vote wisely.”

On the performance of the Administration, Fashola said that the
government had kept its promises to Nigerians in the three key
areas of security, fighting corruption and rebuilding the
economy.

He said the essence of the town hall meeting was to showcase
what the administration had done in three and half years.
