President Muhammadu Buhari's
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has described the 2019
presidential election as a contest between light and darkness that he expects
the president to win.
While speaking during an
interview on Channels Television's Politics Today on Sunday, November 4, 2018,
the president's spokesperson said Nigerians will decide on the right candidate
who'll move the nation forward.
He said, "What we know is
that a contest is ahead and it is going to be a contest between light and
darkness, between integrity and people who have question marks; between a man
whose life is plain and transparent and a man with so much opacity that you
can't say, well, this is his life, this is his background and this is how he
got this and that.
"It's going to be a fair
contest and, at the end of the day, Nigerians will decide."
The 2019 presidential election,
scheduled for February 16, 2019, is expected to be closely-fought between
President Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar, of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
Buhari will win 2019 election
with a wide margin - Presidency
During Sunday's interview,
Adesina also expressed his belief that President Buhari will win with a wider
margin than he used to win the 2015 contest.
He said he believes Nigerians
will vote for continuity so that the president can consolidate on the
achievements of his first term.
He said, "Our conviction is
that the party will win by a wider margin, far wider margin, than in 2015. Look
around, what is the alternative? Can we afford to take the country back into
the infamous past? It would be very sad. It would be quite shameful to take
Nigeria back into the past.
"The best option for Nigeria
is a continuity of what we have now so that it can be properly consolidated for
a better future and Nigerians know it.
"The option is President
Buhari to be re-elected. Our confidence is that President Buhari will win the
election."
In 2015, the president won with
15,424,921 votes, 2.5 million votes more than second-placed Goodluck Jonathan
who won 12,853,162 votes. It was the first time an opposition candidate had
beaten an incumbent president in a democratic election.
