No Foreign Nation Pressuring Buhari Not To Run In 2019 - Presidency by BafanaBafana: 5:42pm On Aug 14, 2018
The presidency has lashed out at a Nigerian newspaper, Daily Independent for claiming that President Muhammadu Buhari is under pressure from foreign nations to drop his presidential ambition for 2019.

In a statement by Femi Adesina on Tuesday, August 14, he said the entire report was false.

He insisted that the president is held in high esteem by foreign nations and that his work is well appreciated.
Read the statement below:

It is necessary to respond to a tendentious story published today as cover choice by Daily Independent Newspaper.

Under the headline, 'Pressure mounts on Buhari not to seek re-election,' the fiction parading as news claims that foreign powers, including the European Union, United States of America, United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia, are putting pressure on President Buhari not to seek re-election, due to some concocted reasons.

We thought fake news was the sole preserve of the social media in this season. Alas, a traditional medium has caught the bug. Obviously, the author of the story just got a brain wave, or got procured by anti-democratic elements, and then penned the mischief.

If there are quarters in which President Buhari is held in very high esteem, and the work he is doing for Nigeria highly lauded, it is in the countries mentioned. Some of them are equally bastions of democracy, and will not interfere in the democratic affairs of a sovereign country. The newspaper should simply tell its story to the marines.

President Buhari is not a flippant or frivolous individual. He gave deep thought to the prospect, before announcing his bid for a second term in office. It is only those who fear that their goose would be cooked, if they meet with him at the polls, that are trying to dissuade him from running by all means, including sponsored newspaper stories.

By saying it got feelers that President Buhari may opt out of the 2019 presidential election, Daily Independent embarrassed itself, and all those who love good journalism. The newspaper can surely do better.

"He insisted that the president is held in high esteem by foreign nations and that his work is well appreciated."
Paranoid delusion! And the Buhari-led APC regime thinks the global community not noting all the desecration of democratic principles, norms/values & institutions A man that should never have a place in a 21st.century civilization?
No wonder the government continue to embarrass Nigeria esp. with the dubious Marthin Luther King award & the ICC Buhari integrity disgrace.Ok Continue! angry

The lie was so childish. Sounded like something Nnamdi Kanu would say. They had to include Saudi Arabia so as to get sympathy from Muslims.
Next time make dem add FIFA, UNICEF, UEFA UN, ECOWAS, etc.
Even pdp knows that the only way they MIGHT win 2019 is if Buhari decides not to run.

The cry of the dead victims killed in the northern part by boko haram , Islamic terrorists and the innocent blood that the northern Islamic fanatic extremists terrorists were willing and ready to split made former President Goodluck Ebere Jonathan to accept defeat even when he has all the securities apparatus and power to prove the high rate of rigging in the northern parts.

The same innocent blood of victims killed by boko haram and fulani heldsmen is crying for President Muhammadu Buhari to please accept defeat to avoid another rain of blood when signs are showing he has not meet the expectations of majority of Nigerian. We the living are pleading on behave of the innocent killed by boko haram,fulan heldsmen and the living that Buhari have failed to protect the number one thing which is the sanctity of Nigerians lives .
Age is not on he side and a sound mind among the 180 million Nigerians will be found to do more better in protecting the lives of Nigerians but home and abroad.
Any sycophants that aid his winning 2019 election must be held of any atrocities or inactions that may lead to any deaths of Nigerians .
