The National Publicity Secretary
of the Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN), Barrister Yelwa Abubakar
has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari’s body language towards the 2019
general elections was disturbing.
She expressed concern over the
presentation of the 2019 national budget to the National Assembly which
President Buhari titled: “budget of continuity”.
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, she
stated that Buhari is a candidate like any other party candidates, stressing
that the 2019 general election would determine whether he will continue or not.
She urged the President to place
his 2019 ambition in the hands of God and Nigerians, stressing that if he loses
election, someone else would continue from there, adding that, “the budget
should capture national interest rather than party interests.”
GDPN continued, “It is disturbing
that President Muhammadu Buhari presented the 2019 national budget as if he is
of being the one to implement it.
“For him to title it as budget of
continuity disturbs us all because it’s God and Nigerians that determines his
fate in 2019.”
Barrister Yelwa pointed out that
Nigerians were looking forward to the President ensuring hitch-free, fair and
credible elections in 2019, urging him to tell security agents and the electoral
umpire to be neutral.
She cautioned political parties
against what she called ‘endorsement bonanza’, stating that political parties
should work hard to win the presidential and other elective offices’ election.
She further stated that the
conduct of some political parties in alliances showed that some politicians
were not ready to make democracy work in Nigeria.
