Buhari
hehehehe........ In
a swift reaction to the Minister of Women Affairs who declared her
support for Atiku Abubakar ahead of President Buhari, for the 2019
Presidential election, an APC chieftain has declared that the president
is the only worthy candidate.
A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa
state, Preye Aganaba said on Thursday that President Muhammadu Buhari
remain the party’s best candidate for the 2019 Presidential election,
asking the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Jummai Alhassan to resign
her appointment as a minister in the Buhari cabinet.
Aganaba who spoke in an interview with newsmen in Abuja also asked
Nigerians to ignore the quit notice issued by a coalition of Niger Delta
Agitators to northerners and people from the south west to leave the
region, describing them as attention seekers.
Reacting to a statement credited to the Minister that she would
support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the 2019 Presidential
election ahead of President Buhari, Aganaba said while the Minister has
the eight to her opinion, it was expressed in the wrongly, saying “She
has a right to her choice but I think she is not been fair. If she want
to make such public statement as a serving Minister, she should resign
her appointment.”
Aganaba who expressed confidence in the Buhari government however
wants the President to bring into his government those he described as
capable hands who understand the ideal of change mantra which the party
stand for anytime he plan to re-jig his cabinet.
“So, I don’t think for now that the APC has any other choice
that to re-elect President Buhari, though people are free to contest,
nobody is stopping them, this is APC where we usually have free and fair
primaries. The last Presidential primaries in Lagos, President Buhari
won more than half of the votes.
“During the last APC presidential primaries, the campaign
slogan for Buhari was ’12 million assured votes’ and I don’t think one
single vote has left that 12 million assured votes, in fact, more has
even been added.
“I am not bothered about the economy because that will be
fixed, for me I’m looking at the politics of various zones because that
will determine how much we win the election. To win we will win, but by
what margin? These are my issues and then if we can also do well at
National Assembly elections.
“In government wise, I think we have done well. Yes, maybe not
where we suppose to be because we also did not know about what we met
when we came in 2015 but we have done well. In few days ago we heard
about the story of Nigeria exited recession, the prices of food stuff
are coming down, in Abuja here where I live I get minimum of 20 hours of
electricity and some days light doesn’t go off for five days and so on.
“If President Buhari runs election today he is going to win. I
don’t think the President is terminally ill, and like every other human
being, people fall sick but the problem is because he is the President,
is in government you begin to hear stories but he is back. I saw him
yesterday he is looking very fresh, atleast he rested very well in
Daura.”
He also expressed confidence that the crisis rocking the various state chapters of the party will soon be resolved saying
“they will be amicably resolve because whether you like it or not we
are going into elections and we can not go into we ctions with a divided
house. In 2013, I saw leaders of this party brought together a
disfunctional system and we went into elections in 2015 and we won. So, I
still believe in the ability of this party to do the same thing before
2019.”
On the various agitations coming from the Niger Delta, he advised the government and Nigerians to ignore them, saying “most
of these calls are political from people seeking relevance from
government and for me I think they should be ignored because when they
want to destroy pipeline nobody makes noise about it.”
