A socio-political group, Coalition of Patriots (CP) has enjoined the President-elect, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, to fulfill his electoral promises to Nigerians.

Coordinator of the group, Ifesanmi Ajiwoye in a statement issued in Akure said, the era when politicians took the electorate for granted had gone forever.

The coalition felicitate with Buhari on his election, saying his victory in the just concluded presidential election was an answer to earnest prayers of the Nigerian people.

The statement reads: “The people of this country prayed to God for a change of government at the centre. God has now answered their prayers through the election of Gen. Mohammadu Buhari.

“The President-elect must, therefore, justify people’s confidence in him by striving to fulfill his promises to them. It is by fulfilling the promises that the change of government will have meaning to them.

“Fundamental issues affecting the country such as insecurity, corruption, unemployment and poor electric power supply should be given prompt attention. The political consciousness of the people is
now high and they will no longer vote for those who cannot add value to their lives.”
