The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday, said he is confident President Muhammadu Buhari will win in 2019.

Tinubu made the statement in Lagos while addressing party members at a stakeholders meeting of the state chapter.

He said the president had acquainted himself as a leader so far despite the challenges of governance.

The APC leader condemned what he called the frequent attacks on the Buhari-led administration by a former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.

Tinubu said the criticisms of Obasanjo were in bad faith, pointing out that he could not stop Nigerians from re-electing the president.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has done well, he deserves another term, and we will support him to win because he is our man.

“Forget about Obasanjo’s letter and his frequent attacks on our president, he cannot stop the president because Nigerians would re-elect him.

“Obasanjo has spent his own time; he should leave Buhari alone and face his business because he cannot tell us who to vote for.

“He is part of some of the challenges we are facing in the country today because he did not lay the right foundation when he was president,” he said.

Tinubu added that the exit of some members from the APC would also not stop the re-election of President Buhari.

The chieftain said the party was unshaken by the defections and was on course to recording victories in the 2019 elections.

Tinubu said the results of the Kogi, Katsina and Bauchi by-elections in which the APC was victorious, were a precursor to the pattern of the general elections.

“I congratulate the winners in the elections, their victory is proof that our party is getting more popular by the day.

“Those who want to defect can defect; that is their problem. APC remains unshaken and these people will know the reality in elections,” he said. He commended the National Chairman of the party, Mr. Adams Oshiomole, saying members were pleased with what he was doing in the party.

He said the direct primary system was good for democracy, and that the party would adopt it to conduct its primaries. Tinubu urged members to play by the rules in electing candidates at the primaries.

He urged the members to mobilse others to obtain their PVCs as that was necessary for victory in 2019.

Meanwhile, there were concerns among political stakeholders who attended the meeting with Tinubu when the deliberation ended without the much expected endorsement of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode for re-election.

Finally he has been forced to break his long silence but they are still watching him as he's yet to take action to halt further defections.

100% sure.

Boy, keep consoling yourself by the likes and retweet you and your likes see on social media. Elections are not won by self fantasy, resentment or animosity for someone.

This is why some of you will be celebrating defection on the social media while others are celebrating winning election in real life. Go figure!

Obasanjo will stop writing letters after 2019 election. He miscalculated this time, He promised an alternative movement that will be predominantly youth, yet he is busy striking deal with PDP to recycle those old buccaneer that will re-plunder our commonwealth. There's always an end to every instances. Without any doubt as far as the coming election is concerned he is a featherweight..
On the defectors and the whole of PDP they are on the final stage of their interment plan. RIP in the coming day.

But his defection to apc in 2015,helped buhari to win 2015 election.

Obasanjo just like Saraki, Dogara and Tambuwal are overrating their continued importance in the Nigeria political arena. 2019 will surprise a lot of people.

Obasanjo who ought to have retired will finally be put in his place and the defectors who defected because of their greed will find out that in 2015 they were able to win simply because of Buhari and nothing more.

I am sure Saraki himself knows this to be true of many senators and was frantically trying to order the sequence of the elections in Nigeria which to me was an admittance of the fact that Buhari was going to win. They were merely trying to ensure APC does not get the majority in the house which is looking possible.

Anyone thinking Buhari will not return will be shocked. He will return and by a big margin win.

How did it help? Buhari won in places he used to win before now. If Obasanjo helped in anyway, he might have helped in telling APC some of their rigging tactics and nothing more.

Buhari won because he was very popular in the north and because Tinubu ( who is still in Buhari's camp ) helped him with the south west. I challenge you to censor people in the south west of their opinion on Obasanjo. He is not half as popular as people from the south east would like to make you believe.

Make lough in Japanese language

I won't insult Baba Obasanjo but I usually look the other way when he's being insulted, I honestly wouldn't know why he's doing all of these damages to his already dented image.
Thambo Mbeki of South Africa left a more enduring legacy in his country and I have read or heard anywhere that he unnecessarily intervenes in South African politics.

Why always Obasanjo?

We all know that. Our destiny us in our hands

One of the few times that I will agree with you.
Only our PVCs can stop Buhari next year.
Let everyone get theirs.
No time to waste.

Dear God......I pray that every nairalander that might be struggling in one way or the other receives strength and energy to keep moving on.....God, grant all their heart desires this day and put smiles on every downtrodden face....Let those in need of jobs get their dream jobs this day, let those in need of fruit of the womb be blessed of it this day, let those confused receive direction this day, let those that have their their hearts full of hate and jealous begin to show so much love to those around them, may those that have evil intention to hurt others have a change of hearts.....Dear God bless every heart..... Let no form of weeping prevail upon any home of all nairalanders...... Amen

Why are some of these men going blind in thinking and action? Does Tinubu know that Buhari cannot preside the affairs of this Country ? Why are all these wickedness ? Who cursed Nigeria ? Youths should rise up and defend their future instead of working with these dead woods
