A former National Vice-Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and ex-gubernatorial aspirant in Lagos State, Adedeji Doherty has called on the All Progressives Congress to forget the idea of fielding President Muhammadu Buhari as its presidential candidate in 2019.
Doherty said anyone calling on Buhari to run for another term was an enemy, stressing that the President may not withstand another four years.
He called on the president to rather sit back and take care of his health instead of going through the stress of another campaign.
He told Sun that, “Anybody asking Buhari to seek a second term is Buhari’s enemy. I believe that his family members will even persuade him not to run if some cabal wanted to push him to run because of their own personal interests.
“I don’t think Buhari is healthy enough to withstand the rigours of campaign talk more of now being in charge for another four years. Those wishing to drag Buhari into 2019 don’t love him.
“They also don’t love Nigeria. Campaign for Presidency is not a joke. Buhari may not be able to withstand the rigours.”
On the way forward about the crisis rocking the PDP, Doherty said the party was putting its house together ahead of 2019.
“Many Nigerians are not happy with what is happening to us in PDP because they were looking to us for salvation, and to help salvage Nigeria from APC’s misrule. APC led federal government has failed. The end has come for APC or let me put it more clearly; APC has come to the end of road.
“APC has failed Nigerians performance-wise. Many Nigerians are hungrier and angrier now because of APC’s bad governance. There is hunger in the land. Many families and more individuals are finding it difficult to survive. Nigerians are eagerly awaiting these coming elections in 2018 and 2019 to punish APC for being unfaithful to its electoral promises,” he said.
Few days ago, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Ibeh Kachikwu, has disclosed that President Buhari will probably win the 2019 Presidential election.
