Buhari Is Healthy Now, He Will Contest In 2019- Information Minister
Former Information Minister, Chief Tony Momoh over the weekend disclosed that President Buhari is now healthy and fit to contest for 2019 presidential election, and certain he would win.
He made this known while chatting with tabloid’s reporter. He stated that Buhari had right to second tenure in office and he can be allowed to contest.
His words: “He (Buhari) is entitled to two terms. We should be thankful to God Almighty that we have a Buhari now who understands Nigeria more than any other Nigerian leader apart from the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe.
“His presence in government is not an accident. We give the impression that someone who has been sick cannot work. I believe his sickness was exacerbated by what he discovered was on the ground. I was at the caucus meeting some couple of days ago; I was surprised to see him looking healthier than most of us. He is back fully at work.
“One thing I can assure you is that if Buhari is strong enough and he knows he can do the job, he will contest and win. In fact, he cannot lose any election in Nigeria. One thing is when he secures a terrain you can’t take it from him.
He also added that the credibility of Buhari is beyond social media as he said ordinary people will always support him, and not people on the internet.
“Those who are going to vote are not the people on the social media; it is the ordinary people. His support base is the ordinary man. And he won’t take up a job he cannot do. Nigeria has to be re-grounded.”
