Buhari’s meeting with APC, PDP leaders, good omen for Nigeria democracy—Odubu

-

The immediate past deputy governor of Edo State Dr. Pius Odubu, has applauded President Muhammadu Buhari over his recent peace call initiative meeting with the leadership of the two major political parties in the country.

Speaking with journalist at his residence in Benin- city, Dr. Odubu described the meeting as good omen for Nigeria democracy, adding that president Muhammadu Buhari has demonstrated a high level of leadership quality by that single act. He gave kudos to the president and also the leadership of the opposition party for their understanding and objective criticisms of the ruling APC party.

According to him; “For me the recent meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Leadership of the apposition party the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a highly welcome initiative. It is a step in the right direction. It shows a high sense of responsibility on the part of the president as a leader. It shows that our Democracy is maturing, and that our politicians no longer exhibit parochial attitudes in their Democratic activities. I give kudos to President Muhammadu Buhari, and also kudos to Ahmed Makarfi the chairman of PDP for his initiative and understanding. It has also demonstrated that our politicians are beginning to put the interest of the country first above all other interest”.

“In Democracy, the interest and wellbeing of the people should be paramount and super cede other interest, Democracy without opposition is dead. So the two major political parties in the country should be highly commended for such peace initiative meeting with the president. I am happy I think every right thinking Nigerian is happy also for the meeting. It implies that the president represent the good people of Nigeria”.

Commenting on the President’s situation and his triumphant return to the country a he said; “Nigerians love President Muhammadu Buhari and also wish him well now that he has return to the country successfully he should settle down for business. The noise about his health to me is not relevant; it only shows that we are mere mortal and human. So my plea to those who speak evil of the president health situation is that they should desist from such acts and rally round the president in his quest to build a better country for us and the generation to come”.

“In recent times one of the most popular President of the United States Ronald Reagan of blessed memory once suffer from a disease called Alzheimer yet he was not castigated by Americans he did his best for his country and was loved by his people. Weather you are a Democrat or Republican the interest of the people was put above all other interest. Nigeria is our country we have no where else to go, we must as a matter of interest join hands to build it. Nigeria remains one invisible entity not minding our ethic, religious and socio-political affiliations”.

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
