Adebayo Shittu, minister of
communications, says the campaign for the re-election of President Muhammadu
Buhari has commenced, disclosing that the south-west campaign office would be
inaugurated on January 20.
Shittu also disclosed that he had
been appointed the national chairman of the board of trustees of
‘Buhari/Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group’.
He spoke in an interview with
state house correspondents after meeting with Buhari at the presidential villa,
Abuja.
Shittu said Buhari’s ardent
supporters would prevail on him to seek re-election.
He said they would “help Buhari
to make up his mind so that Nigeria can continue to enjoy stability and
progress”.
“It goes without saying. I mean
if you have a child who goes to primary school and he does well, he proceeds to
secondary school and he does well, and you keep asking if he will be going to
university. It goes with out saying.
“By the grace of God, we his
(Buhari’s) ardent supporters who appreciate his worth on behalf of millions of
Nigerians would urge him to re-contest.
“I know he has not made up his
mind but I can say that some of us can assist him in making up his mind so that
Nigeria can continue to enjoy stability and progress in our land.”
When asked if the development was
an indication that campaign for 2019 has started, the minister responded,
“Every day since he (Buhari) came
into office, all his activities are geared towards letting Nigerians know that
they have a saviour, a rescuer, somebody who is committed to providing relief
for Nigerians in all respect,” he said.
“In the area of fighting
corruption, insurgency whether in the north-east or the Niger Delta; in the
area of repairing the economy and providing jobs and providing social stability
in the society.
“You will agree with me that
today but for Buhari, Boko Haram would have invaded even Lagos.”
The development brings to two,
the number of ministers who have been fully drafted into the Buhari reelection
project.
THISDAY had earlier reported that
Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, had been appointed as
director-general of Buhari campaign.
Amaechi coordinated Buhari’s
election team in 2015.
