A clarion call has been made to the Nigerian voters to assess the candidates based on their track records rather than face value as the country is in dire need of a strong leader with what it takes to take the country out of the proverbial woods.
The call was contained in a press release made available Oyo state newsmen yesterday after the maiden meeting of the Atiku Haske organisation, Oyo state chapter( AHO) ,a support group with the focus of mobilising Oyo state voters for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Presidential bid.
The State coordinator of the group, Otunba Babatunde Adesokan , in his statement cautioned that ” our people are tired of being in the wilderness they are presently engulfed in and the only way to sprint out of the miasma is to make a right choice of a knowledgeable President with proven track records ”
.
Otunba Adesokan also averred that ” our people can’t be no longer careened into voting based on tribal sentiments at this defeated age , competence, verve and vigour to steer the ship of the nation should be our watchwords,that is the global best practice”
In his own reaction the group’s spokesperson, Alhaji Adebisi Waheed declared that the local coordinators specifically saddled with the task as rallying points for the 33 LGs in the State had been identified and will be launched very soon as” we are already behind schedule ”
“We can’t reshape the edges at this crucial period to fit in the square peg in a round role ,we can’t test waters at this momentous time when God has given us Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to save Nigeria ‘s ship from the rapids” Adebisi said.
The group vowed to put out all stops to make sure the people of Oyo state are not cajoled by the old tricks of the political scammers in 2003 elections.
