The personal friend of the President and one of the founding fathers of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says President Muhammadu Buhari will seek reelection in 2019 because it is within his right to do so. The former Minister of Information made the disclosure in an interview with the Sun. he maintained that the health issues that would have militated against the president has since been address stressing that the President was now more healthier than most APC stakeholders.
According to him “he (Buhari) is entitled to two terms. We should be thankful to God Almighty that we have a Buhari now who understands Nigeria more than any other Nigerian leader apart from the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe.
“His presence in government is not an accident. We give the impression that someone who has been sick cannot work. I believe his sickness was exacerbated by what he discovered was on the ground. I was at the caucus meeting some couple of days ago; I was surprised to see him looking healthier than most of us. He is back fully at work."
Momoh while reacting to claims that the President seems to have lost some supporters on the social media, a development that could affect his electoral fortune said “In fact, he cannot lose any election in Nigeria. One thing is when he secures a terrain you can’t take it from him.
Those who are going to vote are not the people on the social media; it is the ordinary people. His support base is the ordinary man. And he won’t take up a job he cannot do. Nigeria has to be re-grounded.”
