‘Buhari’s Victory, A Silent Revolution’

A member of the Elders Fo
rum of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Obio/Akpor local government area of Rivers State, Chief Sydney Nyeche, has said General Muhammadu  Buhari’s  victory in the last presidential election is a product of silent revolution by Nigerian voters.
Chief Nyeche, who spoke in an interview in Port Harcourt, said that under the Buhari presidency, Nigerians would be given a new lease of life, as corruption, epileptic power supply, hunger and poverty, would be a thing of the past.
He said the expectations of Nigerians, were that the Buhari administration would usher in a new political culture that would bring about a level-playing ground for all politicians and also put food on the table of the average Nigerian.
To meet these expectations, the APC stalwart advised new president-elect, to keep at bay sycophants and praise-singers, whom he said did not allow President Goodluck Jonathan to perform and provide good governance to Nigerians.
“As a former military officer who knows his worth, Buhari should not have time to dance around with sycophants and praise-singers”, he pleaded.
Chief Nyeche also commended the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for his political foresightedness and sagacity, describing him as a “charismatic and tactical general of generals”, who has a large heart.
He said Governor Amaechi gave his followers and supporters hope and faith, when several of them had lost hope, stressing that it was the first time in the country that an Ikwerre man would champion the cause of change.
He further noted that the victory of Buhari was a morale booster to APC members in the state and urged all Rivers people and residents of the state to come out en masse and vote for APC during the next eletions.
