The House-to-House campaign organization that
helped Goodluck Jonathan advance for the 2011
elections, made choice in favour of his rival,
Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of the 2015 polls.
According to Sahara Reporters, the group reasoned
their decision by the fact that Jonathan had
demonstrated poor performance and inability to
manage corruption in the country.
The National Coordinator of the House-to-House
Political Education Initiative, Kunle Ehinlanwo, said
this as he briefed journalists in Abuja.
The official dislcosed that first they planned to
support the Incumbent President thinking that stability
would secure democracy. However soon they
concluded, based on the careful review and analysis,
that the situation in the country needs to be changed.
“We have consequently decided to throw our support
in favour of General Muhammadu Buhari, the
Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) who we are convinced is a better man
for the challenging job.”
Ehinlanwo added that the group would campaign
vigorously for the former military Head of State and
his running mate Yemi Osinbajo.
“For the record, our organization is engineered and
powered by concerned citizens and patriotic
volunteers throughout Nigeria to achieve these
common objectives. We are concerned about the
future of this great nation buffeted by bad leadership
and we believe the time for a collective action towards
a purposeful and responsible government which
shares the wishes and aspirations of distressed
Nigerians is now. We have therefore taken the bull by
the horn to do honest bit in the quest for change.”
He also expressed confidence that the opposition
party would triumph because the Nigerian people can
see beyond the antics of the rudderless Jonathan
administration and its desperate quest for power.
According to the official, people strive for change and
no intimidation or corruption, which might be
involved in the electoral process, would change their
desire.
Meanwhile Buhari has recently stated that he would
use social media platforms to interact with
people. The politician promised to communicate with
the voters and read through all the comments dropped
on Facebook.
“I take note of every comment, suggestion and
feedback you give me. Please keep them coming.
Thank you for your support.”
