A member of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC), Kasim Afegbua, has advised President Muhammadu
Buhari not to seek re-election in next year’s elections.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Afegbua stated that Buhari’s administration has performed below expectations.
“For me I think it’s time for Mr
President, when he will clocking 77 in 2019 to please take a bow and that will
be a hallmark of integrity, of honour and encourage the party to use its
machinery to provoke new leadership – a younger mind who has the capacity and a
hands-on approach to developmental issues and challenges that confront the
country as we speak,” he said.
Speaking further, Afegbua
recalled that Buhari had once said after his return from his medical vacation,
that he was advised to eat and sleep more.
“For a country like Nigeria that
is very desirous of serious leadership, leadership that keeps itself awake when
other nations are sleeping, I do not think that we need that kind of attitude
to governance.
“India is growing at such a pace
because it keeps itself awake. The presidency is such that you are so
encumbered with responsibilities that you don’t even have time to sleep because
there are challenges here and there.
“So the president should be
talking about taking quick decisions when confronted with challenges and
developmental issues so that we can know the mindset of the president at every
point in time,” he added.
