Image result for 2019: APC in South Africa Upbeat on Victory
The South Africa chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday expressed optimism that the party would win the 2019 general elections in Nigeria.
Interim Chairman of the party in that country, Mr. Abbey Oguntuase, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Pretoria, South Africa, that the party had become stronger inspite of the defection of some members.
Oguntuase, however, called on the leadership of the party to remain focused and initiate programmes to make it stronger.
“We do not believe that the defection of the former vice president will affect the fortunes of the party.
“We think that the party is stronger and ready for the elections,” he said.
Oguntuase  also urged the leadership of  the APC  not to be distracted by the opposition, saying the party would still  form the national government in 2019.
“President Buhari remains our candidate and I do not see any candidate from the North beating  him.
“If you want to test the popularity of Mr. President, check out the crowd that welcomed him in Kano State two weeks ago,” he said.
Oguntuase also said that the federal government`s war  against corruption was on course with the recovery of more than $2.8 billion by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“ I think it is in our interest as a country to support the Federal Government to  win the war against corruption. We stand to reap the benefit,” he said.

Traffic signs and signals help indicate the rules of the road and are designed for the safe movement of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. As a driver, you are required to know them. The shapes of traffic signs enable you to identify them easily. Clear and efficient signing is an essential part of highway and traffic engineering and a road with poor signing or with badly maintained signs is classed as an unsatisfactory road. With this in mind, Nigerian roads could be classed as unsatisfactory, as they are bare of road signs. Road users depend on signing for information and guidance, enforceme...
