Bishop Adeoye in a statement issued yesterday in Osogbo urged Buhari to shun all entreaties by selfish politicians to drag him into seeking re-election.
He said, “I think Nigerians should not be taken for granted. President Buhari should not push Nigeria citizens beyond limit by coming out again. If he does, he will only dent his image of integrity built over the years. He will be helping this country not to contest than putting himself forward again.”
“I was one of those who fervently prayed to God to heal our president and bring him back to office to complete his tenure. Thank God, he is back. So, President Buhari should just finish his term; go back home and rest after 2019. I think it is unthinkable for him to seek for another four years in office going by his state of health.
He, however, urged other eminent and concern Nigerians to join in pressurizing President Buhari not to seek second term on office for the sake of this country.
“It is only President Buhari that can lay the foundation for the emergence of such a good leader as his declaration not to seek a second term in office will bring out array of qualified individuals from which the best choice will be made”, he stated.
Bishop Adeoye explained that except, “We are deceiving ourselves, Buhari’s ill health affected the nation’s governance. So, if truly the president loves this country as he claimed, he should retire home after 2019 and henceforth inform those sycophants of his intention not to run again.”
He continued, “With all emphasis, President Buhari is a great Nigerian and an accomplished statesman. I am sure that our president will be courageous enough and stand tall by writing his name in precious stone by willingly declaring that he will quit office in 2019.
“This is the more reason why President Buhari should announce his decision as early as possible so as to help Nigerians search for and chose a leader of their choice by 2019,” he stated.
