Lawan, represented by Sen. Abu Ibrahim, said that the volunteers were carefully selected to diligently work under the Buhari/Osibanjo 2019 Presidency Re-election Organization.
He added that they would propagate the policies and programmes of the administration and canvass support ahead of the 2019 general elections.
He stressed that the volunteers would highlight the landmark achievements of the Buhari administration especially “in the area of security, economy, fight against corruption and infrastructural development with the consequent redemption of a hitherto soiled image of Nigeria in the comity of Nations.
“There is no gainsaying that President Buhari took the mantle of leadership of Nigeria when it was almost on a brink of collapse evident in the activities of Boko Haram terrorist which had captured over 14 local governments.
“The economy was battered by the government that Buhari succeeded to the point that payment of workers salaries was about to be impossible due to embezzlement, bribery and other related economic and financial recklessness.”
Lawal noted that apart from decimating Boko Haram, the administration has so far succeeded in fighting corruption through the enforcement of Treasury Single Account which controlled government finances effectively and blocked the siphoning of public funds by fraudulent officials.
