“We are going to take over the country in the next election. Immediately after your vote, stay there and protect your vote. We want the economy to start growing again. We want you to vote PDP at all levels. Let nobody deceive you.”
Meanwhile, the vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, on Sunday, January 20, said President Muhammadu Buhari does not have any problem with his health and he is fit for another four years in the interest of the country.
New Telegraph reports that Osinbajo, who had an interaction with some Christian youths in Lagos, debunked the insinuation over the president’s state of health and capacity to run for another term.
He said part of the reasons why so many people, especially elite are angry and anxious is because President Buhari doesn’t share the resources of the country with them.
