Ajulo who double as the National Secretary of “Forward With Buhari (FWB)” group added that President Buhari’s speech was laced with pitfalls Nigerians must avoid in their collective bid to evolve the great country of their dreams.
“It is particularly profound that President Buhari eminently towers high above personal biases and party sentiments by urging Nigerians to vote for candidates of their choices,” he said.
Ajulo also said that this stance alone was patriotic and particularly instructive, adding that it was largely edifying and typically presidential.
“It is even more patriotic and leader-like reinforcing confidence of Nigerians in the ability and capacity of the electoral umpires to give Nigeria a credible outing.
“President Buhari called on Nigerians to carry such patriotic messages in their minds as they carried their cards with utmost respect for the laws and the process to elect leaders for Nigeria for another four years tenure,” he stated.
