Garba Shehu, spokesman of
President Muhammadu Buhari, says his principal is fit and strong to continue
“his good work” beyond 2019.
On Friday, Rochas Okorocha
announced that all governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have
endorsed Buhari for a second term.
This sparked widespread
criticism.
In an interview with PUNCH, Shehu
said there is a right to expression and the government is not considering to
put a ban on it.
He said the president could not
be adjudged to be incompetent “by any measure.”
The spokesman listed recovery of
stolen funds, fight against Boko Haram and the diversification of the economy
as Buhari’s achievements so far.
“The president is back and in
good health. He is fit and strong enough to continue his good work as the
president of the federal republic of Nigeria. The president cannot be adjudged
to be incompetent by any measure,” he said.
“This government has recovered
billions of naira and millions of US dollars in the fight against corruption.
The assets recovery at home and abroad is unprecedented.
“This government has stopped Boko
Haram from bombing major cities and expelled them from the so-called Islamic
caliphate. (There is) the diversification of the economy from its over-reliance
on oil to other sources of revenue leading to food security in just two years.
“President Buhari’s vision has
unleashed infrastructure revolution aimed at redressing cumulative years of
neglect. The president is very competent.”
