Buhari’s Achievements Are Underreported – Tom Ohikere

Mr Tom Ohikere, the Deputy National Chairman (North), All Progressives Congress (APC) support group, says the achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is under reported.

Ohikere who doubles as the National Coordinator of the Broom Platform, another APC media support group, stated this while speaking with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

He said that there was the need to project the administration’s achievements to the public ahead of the 2019 general elections.

This, he said, was the reason the platform was planning to undertake a media tour of the 36 states of the federation and Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He, however, said that the tour which was earlier schedule to commence on Nov. 5, had been rescheduled to a date to be made public later.

He explained that the reason the tour was rescheduled, was for the platform to streamline its activities with that of the APC as it prepares for the 2019 electioneering campaign.

According to him, the rescheduling is necessary to conform to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) guideline on campaign time table.

Ohikere said the tour would produce physical evidence to authenticate the development claims of the APC across the states of the federation.

He added that the tour would ensure a comprehensive media appraisal and documentary of the laudable projects of Buhari and the APC governors.

He said that it was also to complement APC on publicity, saying that the team would focus on achievements on infrastructure development.

He said that they would focus on areas of housing, health, power, transportation, agriculture and education.

“We are going to show Nigerians the impact analysis of what the government has done and its policy of continuity.

“President Buhari has continued the projects left and abandoned by successive governments and this is a landmark achievement,’’ he said.
