Buhari to Run for second term in 2019- Presidency.
-
Strong indication has emerged that President Muhammadu Buhari will seek a second term in office at the polls in 2019, following a statement issued by the presidency in reaction to a comment by former CPC member, Alhaji Buba Galadima that Buhari would be abandoned by the people in 2019.
In the statement released on Monday, Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu dismissed suggestions that the masses will desert him in 2019 as "unfounded and utterly ridiculous."
-
The statement reads: "Ordinary Nigerians are the backbone of his mandate and the only reason he ran for the office is to protect them against the rapacious merchants of corruption, who have held Nigeria back for decades,"
"The masses are solidly behind Buhari because he is not stealing their money for their future."
According to the Spokesman, "President Buhari is committed to level playing field and would not want anyone to link his name to injustice."
-
"President's enormous goodwill remains ever strong because the people are convinced the President is acting in their best interest, despite the temporary unintended consequences of reforms."
He enjoys a very strategic relationship with ordinary Nigerians. This relationship is as strong as the proverbial rock."
-
He further stated that Galadinma cannot speak for the masses as far as their steadfast loyalty to Buhari is concerned and that Galadinma's calculation and prediction is utterly confusing and misleading.
