As a lawmaker, Senator Buhari was alive to his responbilities , He is not one of the lawmaker in the house for only Yes or No, Hi or Nill but to loud, the voice of the people he represents and at the same time makes meaningful contributions to issues on the floor of the National Assembly.

His excellent performace in the last 40 months at the upper chamber of the National Assembly is a pointer to the fact that Senator Abdulfatai Buhari is one of the beautiful ones that should be allowed to dominate our political sheres in the country, not because his is a politician but because he has consistently demonstrated that he is Omoluabi, a man of the people, he has not betrayed the thrust reposed in him and if allowed again he would do more.
Honestly as a political observer, i think Senator Fatai Buhari’s achievements should be used as a benchmark for lawmakers in the country, he has demonstrated what Yoruba called Omoluabi, he doesn’t use the resources available at his disposal to acquire wealth, built mansions, marry more wives or live a flamboyant life but rater adopt a simple lifestyle and doing everything with his reach to make life secure a better his constituents and it wont be out of place to allow the good work to continue.
Other candidates are credible and responsible too but distinguished Senator Abdulfatai Buhari is the best man for the Job and those who genuinely want Oyo North to develop should not allow party, religion or ethnic affiliation to influence their choices but vote a person that is credible, competent and trustworthy politician that will continue to give them the best.
