Buhari’ s Re - Election , Triumph Of Ordinary Nigerians Over Elite – FG

Meanwhile , the Federal Government has described Buhari ’ s electoral victory as the triumph of ordinary Nigerians over the nation ’ s elite.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed , made the remarks in Abuja on Thursday when he received the management of his ministry, who came to congratulate him on the victory of the APC in last Saturday ’ s Presidential and National Assembly elections .

“Last weekend ’ s election is a direct contest between ordinary Nigerians and the elite, most of whom are rent seekers. Of course, the ordinary Nigerians have won!” he said.

Mohammed said the President ’ s victory was a confirmation of the fact that ordinary Nigerians appreciated the pro -people policies of the Buhari administration which , he said, was doing more with far less resources .

“Overall, this government is doing more with less and is restoring decency and integrity to governance.

 Like the New York Times said, ‘ the re - election of President Buhari is a referendum on honesty ’ . There is no better way to put it , ” he stated .

While reeling out the policies that endeared President Buhari to the ordinary Nigerians, the minister said under the Social Investment Programme, the government feeds 9. 3 million schoolchildren every day and some 500 , 000 unemployed graduates were employed under N- Power , in addition to some 300 , 000 families , who he said were benefiting from the Conditional Cash Transfer .

On the APC ’ s victory in Kwara , the minister thanked the management of his ministry for appreciating his ‘ modest ’ effort in delivering Kwara State from the grip of a crippling hegemony.

“I must stress – and I have said this before – that the credit for the liberation of Kwara goes to the good people of the state who , despite efforts to compromise them, refused to sell their votes .
