Buhari to seek re-election in 2019 - Presidency

The Presidency has confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari will be seeking re-election at the end of his current tenure in 2019.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu disclosed this on Monday while reacting to a comment by a former member of Buhari's defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Alhaji Buba Galadima, that Nigerians would dessert Buhari at the polls should he choose to seek re-election in 2019.

Shehu described Galadima's statement as "unfounded and utterly ridiculous.”

He said that Nigerians would continue to support Buhari because he is not stealing their money.

“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. Galadima’s calculation and prediction are utterly confused and misleading.”

He added that “the masses are solidly behind Buhari because he is not stealing their money and their future.

‘’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.”
