EBONYI State governor, David Umahi has stated why he is urging President Muhammadu Buhari to to re-contest the presidential election in 2019.

He said since he has indicated interest to re-contest the governorship election in the state, the president should follow suit giving that both of them are serving their first term in office.

Umahi was elected on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in 2015, while Buhari was then the torchbearer of the All Progressives Congress.

“Well, any first term governor would want to go for second term and if what you wish yourself, you should be honest enough to wish another person the same.

“Since, Mr President is doing his first term and I am doing my first term, it’s my wish to re-contest and I will as well wish the president the same to re-contest,’’ Umahi said.

The governor, who spoke to State House correspondents in Abuja on Thursday, said Buhari is very qualified to seek a second term in office.
