President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday tasked Nigerians to stop the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhamadu Buhari (retd.) from wining the February 14th presidential election.
The president, who spoke in Osogbo at the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party said that Buhari would unleash more hardship and unnecessary punishment on Nigerians if he won the poll.
Jonathan said that Buhari had an opportunity of ruling the nation as a military Head of State but failed to transform the nation.
According to him, Buhari had the opportunity to ensure an effective mass transit system in the country but did not do anything about it.
He said, “We have done reasonably well despite the challenges before us. All of you saw the train that just passed through this place now. We promised to resuscitate railway and we did it. All of you saw the train; we can even end the campaign with that.
” Those who are the opportunity to do it but did not do anything; about it and they want to come back now. Don’t allow them. Mass transit cannot work by using small buses, you need train which will be cheaper.”
The President said that his administration was planning the railway line that would link Lagos State with the Eastern part of the nation to make transportation of people and goods safer and cheaper.
Jonathan said that the Federal Government was working on Ilesa Dam, Ife Dam and said that he would do more if he was given another opportunity to steer the ship of the nation for another four years.
He thanked the the people of Osun State for the support they showed him in the 2011 presidential election while asking the people to show him and PDP candidates much more support in the 2015 poll.
