Adebayo Shittu, minister of
communications, says former President Olusegun Obasanjo cannot stop President
Muhammadu Buhari from winning in 2019.
Speaking in an interview with NAN
in Abuja on Tuesday, Shittu described Buhari’s declaration as a welcome development.
Shittu, who is the coordinator of
the Buhari/Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group, asked supporters of the president to
start mobilising for the election.
“Who is OBJ? OBJ is not God. IBB
is not God. Obasanjo was president here, he wanted a third term and he didn’t
get it,” he said.
“What Mr President did yesterday
(Monday), we had done that much back on his behalf; that is the Muhammadu
Buhari/Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group. So what he did yesterday was just a
follow-up to what we had done about three months ago. And I want to assure you
is that by the grace of God, Muhammadu Buhari will become president the second
time.”
He said the president had
distinguished himself as his achievement in three years had surpassed that of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for in 16 years.
“For instance in the area of job
creation for youths, no government has ever in one day employed 200, 000
graduates. It has never happened but under Buhari N-Power it happened,” he
said.
“Through this, he has provided
jobs for 200, 000 families spread across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
“Government is still processing
the employment of 300, 000 more graduates to make it 500, 000, this has never
happened. In the areas of transport, works and housing, the last budget of the
PDP government was less than N20 billion and most of these monies were stolen;
diverted to private pockets.
“In 2017 alone, the Buhari
government spent N255 billion on those subject matters; transport, works and
housing. So how do you compare? Today, government is also building new roads
across the south-east states with 100 million dollars SUKUK loan; non-interest
loan from Islamic Development Bank.
“For the first time, government
is building new railway from Lagos to Kano, from Kano to Maiduguri, from
Maiduguri to Calabar and from Calabar to Lagos. So the records are there.”
