Communications minister Adebayo Shittu says President Muhammadu Buhari must seek re-election in 2019 because he has so far done well. Even though the president hasn’t decided on standing yet, Shittu said loyalists and ardent supporters could help the president make up his mind.

Speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with the president on Wednesday, Shittu said he informed Buhari that he had appointed a national chairman of the Board of Trustees of Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group whose identity he did not disclose.

The minister stated that the South-west zonal office of the campaign organization of the Buhari/Osinbajo would be commissioned on January 20. Asked whether the campaign for 2019 has started, Shittu parried, saying: "Every day since he came into office, all his activities are geared towards letting Nigerians know that they have a saviour, a rescuer; somebody who is committed to providing relief for Nigerians in all respects.

"In the area of fighting corruption, insurgency, whether in the northeast or the Niger Delta, in the area of repairing the economy and providing jobs and providing social stability in the society, you will agree with me that today, but for Buhari, Boko Haram would have invaded even Lagos."

On whether Buhari will run for the 2019 Presidency, he said: "It goes without saying, I mean if you have a child who goes to primary school and does well, proceeds to secondary school, does well, and you keep asking is he going to university? It goes without saying.

These statements made by PMBs aides and appointees are unbelievable to say the least.Is there really hope for Nigeria?Do we still think we can survive another 4-5 years of what unarguably is the most inept leadership we have had the misfortune to have?Do we think of the future at all? Never in d history of this country have we been so divided,so downtrodden, clearly lacking a direction and on and on.PMB is not it and dat is obvious

Aha I told you all that Buhari always uses threats of blood shed ,violence and fear as the pillars of his campaigns.

2011: Vote me or dogs and baboons will be soaked in blood .

2015 :Vote me or Boko haram will overun Abuja soon

2019 : Vote me or Boko Haram will overun Lagos .

If by now you cany see this mans only primary reason to contest is alway division driven , blood shed driven , subtle threat driven to inspire fear in the electorate then I pity you ..Open ya eyes people this is a satanic set up

Quick maths : Under this govt Nigeria is losing an average of 5.5 million jobs a year which means in 8 years over 50 million jobs would have been probably lost which is something like our currrent total work workforce.. No sir technically Nigerians cant survive another 4 years of such useless leadership.

Oga Minister respect yourself.

It is just too early for you to start this rubbish. There are a lot of things on ground that needs to get fixed/taken care of and campaigning for re-election is not among them.

Do not over heat the polity with this side show.
