President Muhammadu Buhari will consider his state of health before taking the decision on whether to seek re-election in 2019 or not, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, stated in an interview on Sunday.

Buhari had a serious health challenge in 2017 that made him to seek medical attention outside the country twice.



On his return to the country after his first medical trip, the President stated that he had never been that sick in his life.

While answering questions on Buhari’s health status and his seeking re-election in 2019, Adesina said the President would not do whatever he believed his health could not sustain.

Adesina said, “The President is not a frivolous person. If he thinks that his health cannot carry anything, he will not do it.

“Every day you see the President, you see a glow about him and you see freshness about him. I think he is even in a better state than when he came in 2015. It’s all to the glory of God.

“Once he assesses that his health can carry it, there’s nothing wrong if he steps into the fray. But he has the final decision.”



The presidential spokesman urged Nigerians to wait for the President to tell them his position on the second-term issue.

On a recent media report that Buhari has re-appointed the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as the Director-General of his campaign organisation, Adesina said such an appointment could only be made after a candidate had emerged.

“I believe that things like the DG will come when you have become a candidate. If the President steps into the fray now, he is an aspirant just like any other aspirant. Having a DG comes when you become a candidate of the party,” he argued.

He claimed Buhari had done more than enough to seek re-election, saying “The things he has done are apparent: security, despite the challenges of the moment, you can’t rule out what he has done in security.

“Economy went into recession, stayed there just for one year, it has come out and the indices are good. Even the World Bank has projected 2.5 per cent growth for Nigeria this year.

“Three things he appointed for himself: one, to secure the country; two, to fight corruption; and three, to revive the economy. They are going well.”

He reiterated Buhari’s promise to deliver free and fair elections to the country, stressing that the President fulfilled the promise in all the elections conducted under his watch.

“You would have noticed that since this government came, there have been elections the APC didn’t have to win. You saw Anambra. You saw a senatorial election there. Some months ago, in November, you saw the governorship election. If APC had wanted to overrun Anambra, using federal might, it would have done that to win the election.



“Election had held in Bayelsa under this administration, the APC didn’t do it. Ondo, the APC won fair and square. Kogi, it won fair and square. Where the APC wins, it wins. Where it loses, it loses. That’s the attitude of the President. Your party doesn’t have to win by hook or crook

Those that want him coz of religion.

Those that want him coz they are or enjoining favor from the government

Those that are playing ethnic cards

Seriously on fuel issue I can't and will never support hi on this

Ojebi

He should better use that as an excuse.... lets those thieves around him, never seen by efcc stop deceiving him.

We have even long forgotten fuel was at a time N87. Now we are struggling to pay N145.

12m Jobs lost
Electricity has been absymal
No road commissions
Food prices jacked up
Death rates as high as ever.

What has buhari ever done since he came into our lives?

shutup stop trying to sound reasonable
it doesn't fit you
do you know that Buhari is a terrorist?

Buhari is a punishment to Nigeria

Stupid Reuben Abati is a hero when placed side by side with this Femi Adesina. Femi is more foolish than a ghana must go load of fools.

His health aside, the man doesn't deserve to stay a day more in that office. If only the senate would sit up. Am sure they can get enough votes to retire him now

It's obvious buhari is not contesting for second term

Baba go and rest

Can somebody please ask this veggie to return all the jobs he destroyed with his body language?

He shouldn't also forget to put our Naira where it was before he started his campaign of attrition against the Nigerian people.

Good. the Mandela option please.

So he is even considering to contest?? Let him not even bother to consider to contest oo, he will fail Yakata.
He thinks the votes of his gullible kano and Katsina supporters can vote him in?, He is a dreamer.
Let him better realise that he won in 2015 because he got support from the south west and middle belt. That support and votes has been shredded to pieces and dumped in a thrash can now.
Nigerians has wisened up. We don't need a sick, dying clueless, incompetent and tribalistic old man as President.
Back to Daura is certain for him in 2019.

I can see you have been delivered. I pray that the same God that delivered u will touch Omenkalive. Amen!

With this quote, the terrorist president is contesting.

But he will fail.

sit quietly in the coner of you room and think deeply on how you and that miserable mistake of a human Ngeneukwu wasted your time, inteligence and effort on this failed project called Buhari. I like you and HungerBad because the both of you have realised your mistakes and are ready to make amends which is to send the failure back to daura LGA. But that miserable soul ngene is still ashamed to admit his/her stupidity.

Good morning BMC
