\n

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), yesterday assured the people of Ondo State that the \u00a0Irele\/Agbabu bitumen project would be one of his priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

He blamed successive administrations at the federal level for their neglect of the multi-billionaire project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buhari spoke to a crowd of CPC supporters and \u00a0sympathisers at Adegbenle Hall in Akure, as part of his presidential campaign tour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the campaign was the \u00a0former Federal Capital Territory \u00a0(FCT) Minister, Malam \u00a0el-Rufai, and other party chieftains.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CPC presidential candidate assured the people of his determination to make the project a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said it was unfortunate that the project, which was initiated in 1907, had not been given attention, despite its economic value.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buhari, who was represented by his running mate, Pastor Tunde Bakare, said the project was rated the second largest in the world, with its over 42 billion barrels of bitumen deposits.<\/span><\/p>\n

He \u00a0said his administration would address the problems in the Niger Delta through genuine reconciliation and execution of developmental projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buhari said he would put in place measures to foster unity between the people of the region and the government.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CPC presidential candidate said the Niger Delta, as the major source of the nation\u2019s economy, deserved the government\u2019s attention in infrastructure and human empowerment<\/span><\/p>\n

He urged the people \u00a0to vote for him and other candidates of his party in the elections to improve their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buhari urged religious leaders not to relent in their prayers for the success of the polls.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told the electorate to guard their votes jealously as this was the only way to prevent electoral malpractices.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The CPC presidential candidate said this would also pave the way for the emergence of credible candidates next month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
