Communication minister, Barrister Adebayo Shittu has dropped a hint of pressure being planned to be mounted on President Muhammadu Buhari to contest the 2019 election for his second term in office.
Shittu, who visited the President today, Wednesday to brief him, among other things, on commissioning of the Southwest zonal office of the campaign organization of Buhari/Osinbajo dynamic support group on 20th of this month, said that he had been appointed national chairman of the board of trustees of the organisation.
He said that the group has carefully put plans to ensure that he contest the election.
“By the grace of God, we his ardent supporters, who appreciate his worth, on behalf of millions of Nigerians, would urge him to re-centest. I know he has not made up his mind but I can say that some of us can assist him in making up his mind so that Nigeria can continue to enjoy stability and progress in our land.”
The minister recalled that since Buhari came into office, he had geared all his activities towards letting Nigerians know that they have a saviour, a rescuer; somebody who is committed to providing relief for Nigerians in all respects.
“In the area of fighting corruption, insurgency whether in the Northeast or the Niger Delta; in the area of repairing the economy and providing jobs and providing social stability in the society, you will agree with me that he had done well. Today, but for Buhari, Boko Haram would have invaded even Lagos.
“It goes without saying; I mean if you have a child who goes to primary school, does well, proceeds to secondary school does well, and you keep asking is he going to university? It goes with out saying.”[myad]
