Leaders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, on Thursday, lauded President Mohammadu Buhari for appointing former Governor of the state and son of the military governor of old western region, Niyi Adebayo as Minister for Trades, Industry and Investment, assuring that the former governor as leader of the party, will make the president’s administration proud by performing excellently.
In a statement made available to newsmen, in Ado-Ekiti, on Thursday, and signed on behalf of the leaders by the Director General, Ekiti State chapter of the Buhari/Osinbajo campaign Council, Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu, the leaders expressed confidence that Adebayo will be an asset of inestimable value to President Buhari’s government.
Osinkolu said: “Niyi Adebayo has always demonstrated to be a patriotic Nigerian and a politician with modesty. I am convinced by his actions and dispositions to governance that he will be an asset of inestimable value to President Buhari.
“His wealth of experience as an accomplished Lawyer, businessman and politician of note will be of tremendous benefits to the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment”.
He also appealed to Nigerians to stop the blame game and join hands with the federal government to get rid the nation of bandits, terrorists and kidnappers that are making Nigeria look insecure.

Osinkolu said the current development, whereby some sections of the country are experiencing killings and kidnappings of citizens and expatriates shouldn’t make Nigerians to lose hope in Buhari’s presidency.
Rather than blaming Buhari, Osinkolu argued that the President should be commended for reskcuing the country from daily killings by Boko Haram insurgents that held the country by the jugular under Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency.
“President Buhari inherited from Dr Goodluck Jonathan a highly vicious insurgency in the North where about 35,000 people had been killed and 1.8 million displaced from their homes in the Northeast.
“The President took up the fight and he succeeded in decimating them and those displaced were already returning home when suddenly these bandits and kidnappers reared their ugly heads in other regions.
“It was well known that Nigerians’ desire that President Buhari should free the country from bombings and abductions by Boko Haram upon assumption of office in 2015”, he said.
