Shehu Sani, senator representing
Kaduna central, says despite the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to
address certain issues, he will win the 2019 presidential election.
Speaking on Politics Today, a
Channels Television programme, Sani said the president has recorded some
achievements with which he can win the votes of Nigerians.
“I never had a doubt President
Muhammadu Buhari will win the 2019 elections because I believe there are lots
of achievements that could be attached to his stewardship in the last three and
half years,” Sani said on Thursday.
“We can also see challenges and
also some failures on certain sides but in the general note, I believe that
those who voted for him in 2015 still have belief and hope in him as someone
who can lead them to where they want to be.”
Reacting to constant criticism of
the federal government by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sani said it is a
“positive development” that would keep the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC) on its toes.
He added that the criticisms
would, however, have no effect on Buhari’s victory in 2019.
“As for the opposition party, it
is a positive development that you have so many people struggling to lead this
country; that is interesting,” he said.
“What they have been saying,
there is nothing wrong with it because it will keep the ruling party on its
toes, but that will not in any way stop the president from as the next leader
of Nigeria. And I am of the firm belief that the people on the ground, those
who voted him into office will still vote him again.
“I know that there are challenges
which we are facing, there are issues which have not been addressed, but in the
general sense, he will still be the candidate for 2019.”
Speaking on the sour relationship
between him and Nasir el-Rufai, Kaduna governor, the senator said they must
bury the hatchet and “work towards confronting a common threat to our political
survival in the state”.
He said: “This is the time to put
heads and hearts together and to win the election. There is no doubt about it
that the opposition in Kaduna is formidable. They have the big names and people
who are also well rooted in the grassroots.
“So, it is left for us to decide
on what to do and I think for any progressive who is genuinely progressive,
should see that the party’s interest comes first.”
