Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has taken his campaign for the second term bid of President Muhammadu Buhari to the United States.
Mr Obasanjo is the President of Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO).
The former president’s son said he was in the US to convince Nigerians in diaspora and the international community to support Mr Buhari’s re-election because of Buhari’s plan for youth empowerment and the future of the country.
“I participated at the United Nations International Day for Education, promoted by the Nigerian Government through the Nigerian Permanent Mission to the United Nations.
“I also participated at the Nigerian American Business Forum where I met with many Nigerian professionals and their American counterparts. I went to Atlanta to visit our sister organisations there and to inaugurate many of our organisations.
“I also went to Detroit where we inaugurated some of the organisations. We also have many Buhari support organisations in New York as well.
“We have Buharists in the United States and all over the world. So I am here to encourage them and to support them in every way we can.
“Recently, there was the women and youth campaign wing that was inaugurated by the president, which showed that he wants to ensure that the youth and the women have a strong voice in his re-election campaign.
“We believe that by doing that, Mr President wants us to be part of his administration going forward. Mr President is one who has made us believe again in our country, who has made us proud of our country,” he said.
