On how she
was able to fund the activities of the organization during the campaign, Mrs. Babajide who has supporters across the six south western states of
Nigeria said “We do most of the campaign strategy with our personal funds. We
don’t go cap in hand begging for money from anybody. Yes, we have nominal and
premium volunteers who share our philosophy, who shares our dream and because
the Buhari idea is one which came in
its right time, we were able to make it at last. Most of the T-shirts, face
caps, banners, posters and other campaign materials we used in promoting our
candidate were primarily donated by our members. We have a lot of well to do
volunteers who share in the philosophy of
CHANGE which is the hallmark of
the new era in Nigerian politics”. On how she became a volunteer for Buhari presidency, Babajide said “I took up the job by
myself, I seek for the leadership and they appointed me and I didn’t take a
kobo from anybody. We put people together; we made an image for the party, APC
and for the candidate, General Buhari.
Let me shock you; today we have more pastors, deacons, prophets and prophetess
in BSO; they are volunteers of BSO in every state of the federation. This is
the first time this kind of thing is happening in Nigeria that Christian
leaders will be coming out to support a Muslim candidate just because of his
integrity. It is marvelous. We used our campaign to open the eyes of many
Nigerians to let them see where we are coming from, where we are at the moment
and where we can go from here if we have a General
Buhari on the saddle of leadership and today, Nigerians have listened, they
have voted for General Buhari and that
calls for celebration. That is why we are here today and you can see top APC
party stalwarts and BSO volunteers here who came to celebrate the General
Buhari election victory with us. I can say this is the biggest thing that ever happened
to our polity in the last 55 years of independence. I feel great about it and I
congratulate fellow country men and women”

While giving
her opening speech, Chief (Mrs.) Yetunde
Babajide lament the rate at which the elites of the country has denied the
masses an opportunity to quality living and hope. The BSO leader enjoined all political leaders in the country to give a
listening ear to the challenges of the poor and promote policies that will
enable them live and enjoy the dividends of democracy. Babajide who is also the founder of Total Peace Foundation an NGO that caters for the quality living of
the poor people shocked her guests when she declared that most of the people
she consulted for services that made the event succeed are ordinary people at
the lowest rung of the society. She called out a young man, Ahmed Kolawole whom she said has
graduated for many years without finding an employment but recently turned his
hobby of cooking into a business “He is the one who cooked the meal we are
going to eat today. We need to give people like them a chance”. “This young man
has over 60 workers who depend on him for their living. We have a lot of them
that we discovered in BSO. That is the philosophy of General Buhari; that is
the philosophy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, to give the unknown a chance to prove himself and excel”.

On benefits
of BSO to members and aspiring members, Babajide
gave a hint “We have the ears of General
Buhari; that is the first benefit. We can put a call to him or Sms him on
anything that is going wrong and we will be honored with an instant response.
Secondly, we also empower ordinary people in the area of self discovery, skill
acquisition and social empowerment. We have donors who give loans to our women
folks and that has helped to empower so many women in our zone. We also have
local donors who give us platforms to offer skills to young people. In fact our
major vision is to discover and develop talents because in the last 16 years,
the leadership of this country has taken her eyes off the ordinary people’s
sector and with General Muhammad Buhari,
we are hopeful of the return of the middle class”
