Bashir El-Rufai, son of Kaduna
State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has taken a swipe at New York Times over its
announcement of President Muhammadu Buhari’s declaration to contest in 2019.
NY Times via its Twitter account,
had tweeted: “Muhammadu Bahari, Nigerian president beset by health problems,
Boko Haram and calls for him to step aside, says he will run again in 2019”.
Perhaps angered by the reference
to Buhari’s health and critics call on him to stand down, Bashir responded with
a reference to President Donald Trump’s sex scandal.
@BashirElRufai wrote: “The
President in your country, was on tape bragging about grabbing women by the P****
and eats Big Macs all day, and is a fully open racist and misogynist will run
again in 2020 and win too, but hey, it’s the New York Times”.
Meanwhile, President Buhari has
explained why he declared his intentions to run for another term in office on
Monday, April 9, 2018, during the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of
the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He spoke while receiving the
Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace Justin Welby in London Wednesday.
Buhari said: “I declared before
leaving home because Nigerians were talking too much about whether I would run
or not. So, I felt I should break the ice.
“We have many things to focus on,
like security, agriculture, economy, anti-corruption, and many others.
“We needed to concentrate on
them, and politics should not be a distraction. The majority of Nigerians
appreciate what we are doing, and that is why I am re-contesting.”
