The most controversial president ever, Muhammadu Buhari yesterday publicly confirmed his intention to seek a second term in office in the 2019 presidential elections, recalling that he had contested for the nation’s plum job several times in the past but lost.
According to Buhari, even without the supports of the Nigerian youths he will win his presidential election comes 2019.
This happened at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi, the Bauchi state capital, where the over 71years old man and current president of the country, who is on a two-day official visit to the state, addressed a group of people.
Buhari’s declaration was announced by Gov. Simon Lalong, Nasir El-Rufai and a presidential aide.
Confirming his decision to seek re-election, Buhari told the group in Bauchi, “When I came into power as a military Head of State during the military era, there was nothing like insurgency in the North East, although I re-contested several times during the democratic era and lost. I contested again in 2015 and got victory.
“I have already made my intentions known to Nigerians that I will still contest again in 2019 and I’m happy for the support you are already giving to me today,’’ the President told the people.
“I served as a president, governor and chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), but never looted the treasury like Nigerian past leaders, who own 20 to 30 houses, while some Nigerians cannot afford one room to sleep in.”
Meanwhile, millions of creative, productive and energetic youths are frowning at the president action in labelling lots of Nigerian youths as lazy individuals to the international communities.
