The Nigerian community in the United States have hailed President Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo over their recent victory in the Presidential polls.
The citizens, via their different organisations, also set agenda for the APC leaders in the next four years they have been given to rule Nigerians.
Their words, “We would like to pledge our continued support and cooperation to the government and look forward to collaborating in areas of mutual interest in the task of nation building,”
The Organisation for the Advancement of Nigerians (OAN) and the Nigerian Independence Day Committee also noted that Buhari’s re-election was a challenge for him to keep up with his crucial wars against corruption and insecurity, and to also ensure that infrastructural development was key.
The U.S.-based Nigerian group begged the President to ensure the constitution, lives and property were protected.
Their words, “Your political party’s agendas, special interests, religious affiliations, inter alia, will certainly be competing with the imperatives of equity and the pursuance of the greater good for the majority of our people throughout your new tenure.
“As the Father of the Nation, your administration’s policies, capital projects, and appointments must reflect the rich diversity of our nation both in words and deeds.”
“We are convinced that the massive investments that your administration made in infrastructure, power generation, mining, and agriculture during your first term will start to yield fruits in your second term, resulting in more of our people being moved from penury to prosperity.
“As president of all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora, we are confident you will continue to protect the interests of all Nigerian citizens wherever we may be on the face of the earth, irrespective of our ethnic, political, and religious affiliations.
“Always remember that will include all those who did not vote for you because they belonged to other political parties or could not vote for you because they were resident abroad and the current electoral laws excluded them from exercising their voting rights.
“As you prepare to continue to address Nigeria’s thorny problems in the next four years, we appeal to you to cast your net wide in search of patriotic Nigerians of impeccable character, skills, and competence.
”We need Nigerians, who will have the best interests of our country and our people at heart, and possess the requisite competencies to assist you to achieve your goals of returning Nigeria to the paths of peace and prosperity.
“In this regard, please endeavour to reach out to reputable Nigerians and Nigerian civic organisations in the diaspora, who have proven track records of performance and know-how and can assist you in achieving your laudable goals for Nigeria.”
