Former Minister of Communication,
Adebayo Shittu, says the All Progressives Congress, APC, may find it difficult
to win the 2023 presidential election without President Muhammadu Buhari.
Shittu disclosed that if the APC
fails to put its house in order Nigerians won’t vote them in 2023.
The Minister, who spoke in
Osogbo, Osun State capital yesterday, said if the APC is not careful about the
frustration being faced now, the party may find it hard to get votes in 2023.
He said: “APC must put its house
in order.
“In the last two elections,
Buhari got 15million votes in each and that is because he is on the ballot.
“From the north alone he got 12
million on each occasion if APC is not careful to put its house in order for
people not to be sent out from the party.
“Where will the vote come from in
2023 if the mandate of Buhari is no more on the ballot? I think that’s food for
thought for those who can think well.”
Describing the talk about the
third term as “idiotic,” Adebayo said that Buhari was not in any way interested
in such venture.
“The issue of the third term for
Buhari is idiotic. Our constitution prescribes two terms. It is the handiwork
of some confusionists. Buhari is not interested in such agenda.
“He cannot do anything that would
tarnish his image and integrity. It is a mere waste of time for some people to
be talking about third term,” he said.
Recall that Buhari had last year
assured Nigerians that he had no third term agenda.
Buhari had declared that he won’t
make the mistake of attempting to pursue a third term agenda.
According to Buhari: “I’m not
going to make the mistake of attempting a third term.
“Besides the age, I swore by the
Holy Book that I would go by the constitution and the constitution said two
terms.
“I know that I’m in my last term
and I can afford to be reckless because I’m not going to ask for anybody’s
vote.”
