Nigeria's Muhammadu Buhari must stand for re-election in 2019 in the best interest of the country, one of his allies and governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has said. Sworn in as the country's leader less than two years ago after ousting the incumbent Goodluck Jonathan at the polls, Buhari was heralded into the office like a messiah of a sort. His campaign promises included stamping out corruption through and ushering in a new democratic era free from bitter partisanship. A biting economic recession accompanied by rising cost of living and a not-so-successful war on graft have, however, watered down his popularity among the people who now see his change agenda as only a tired campaign slogan. Those problems and his ill-health and notwithstanding, El-Rufai said Buhari has done well enough to be given a second term. "My prayer is that the president gets well...gets back to full health and run again because I still believe his being president...the stability that he brings to the office is in the best interest of Nigeria," El-Rufai said on Friday. Should Buhari chooses not to stand for re-election, the Kaduna state governor said he would expect him to have a say in who the ruling All Progressives Congress nominates as its candidate. El-Rufai spoke against the backdrop of controversies generated after his 30-page memo to Buhari was leaked to the media. And the governor, who claimed he was not aware Buhari was sick when he authored the report, has firmly blamed unnamed presidential aide as the persons behind the leak. "I know who leaked the memo," he said refraining from mentioning the aide's name. On Friday, he was at the Presidential Villa to observe Juma'at Prayer with Buhari. He declared that though he was aware that some aides on Buhari's team disliked him, that would never prevent him from visiting the president. “Within the Villa, there are people that like me and there are those who don’t and it is normal. My relationship with the President has never been strained in any way," he explained. The governor insisted there was no sinister intention behind his authoring the memo, noting that the now famous memo was, in fact, in a "series of memos" he had sent to the president. "It is not the fist, it is not the tenth. It is probably close to the twentieth memo I have written," he said. "I have been working closely with Mr President for about seven years, from the time we were in the opposition in the CPC, through the merger into the APC. "Anytime I see fundamental issues that require to be addressed by him, I discuss with him. When discuss...debate, and I get his thoughts, I would always tell, 'I will go back and articulate a memo and action plan for you.'"

To the best of my knowledge it is only Buhari that can stop himself. The main oppositions to Buhari are still the usual suspects which we've learned from the last election that their vote is inconsequential and insignificant, only that it has been depleted and deflated by hunger and pain. 2 Likes |

Even Buhari can't convince himself he'd win a re-election. He's sick, tired and should retire. Hell Rufai has eye on Aso Rock. Only fools will vote both of them. |

ajepako:The bold, is the more reason, you should keep quite...and stop advising who and who should not run.. Didnt Fayose say, Buhari will not see 2016? Are you his doctor? At age 75, Buhari naturally should be susceptible to Old age related disease...which is not in doubt..but making it look as if you were his creator...is not acceptable. Buhari Till 2023....if you dont like it..... meet Him at Kuje Prison. |
