Olubunmi Okogie, Archbishop
emeritus of the Catholic archdiocese of Lagos, says President Muhammadu Buhari
should retire quietly come 2019.
Okogie said President Buhari has
performed woefully and does not deserve to be re-elected.
There are indications that the
president will seek re election in 2019.
Minister of communication, Adebayo
Shittu after a closed-door meeting with Buhari told state house correspondents
that the President’s ardent supporters would prevail on him to seek
re-election.
Reports emerged that Rotimi
Amaechi, minister of transportation, has been appointed as the director-general
of Buhari campaign.
Okogie speaking with New
Telegraph said it was an insult to Nigerians for the president to be talking
about 2019 election despite challenges.
The archbishop further advised
Buhari to respect himself and think of finding solutions to the problems
confronting Nigerians than re election.
“What has he done in the years he
had been in the saddle? He has performed woefully; that’s the verdict of
Nigerians.
“Let the president respect
himself and retire quietly. Coming out to talk of 2019 is insulting not only to
those who voted him to power but to all Nigerians.
“There are so many problems
confronting the people and he should be thinking of what to do about them. For
second term, he must be a joker.
“That is all I can say for now
because I don’t want to dignify them with a lengthy statement. It is not worth
it.” Okogie said
