Stakeholders (including my good self) have respectfully urged Buhari not to contest in the 2019 presidential election. This is not because we are oblivious of his constitutional and democratic rights to so do. It is also not because anyone is afraid of Buhari. Who is even afraid of Buhari? Was he not roundly defeated thrice? As a matter of fact, the Buhari 'phenomenon' has since been demystified! The man has been found to be completely empty and disoriented! On the contrary, it is because we are deeply concerned about Nigeria's unity, long term security and the welfare of the longsuffering people of the country.

I will explain. In any credible election in 2019, there is no way on God's earth that the man will win. Now, we know the antecedents of Buhari. He does not accept electoral defeat due to his flawed perception of his popularity. This is the reason he never congratulated any of the candidates who won him at the polls between 2003 and 2011. Sadly, in 2011 this led to the deaths of many people including corps members who participated in the election and the destruction of valuable properties by his supporters.

Against this backdrop, it becomes at once clear that if Buhari contests and loses (as he would) he and his many unenlightened supporters won't accept the defeat. This will therefore pose very serious problems for the country security and economy wise. Many people have already seen this possibility, no, imminent reality. This is why, in good conscience, they continue to impress on the mind of Buhari that he should not contest. I hope in his own best interests that he heeds the call!

Which corruption fight or do you mean Quoroption fight.Going to the media houses is fighting corruption?Looking at members of the opposition alone is corruption fight?in this so called corruption fight nobody till date has been sentenced to prison all I am seeing is media trial.If the president is serious he should start with the former SGF and NIA boss then we would know if he is serious.
