Chief Chekwas Okorie, the national chairman of the United Progressives Party (UPP), reacted to the statement by presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, that President Muhammadu Buhari will win if he contests another Presidential election.
According to VANGUARD, Okorie said, ''Mr Adesina is not reading the mood of the nation correctly. What he said is a disservice to President Buhari and his administration. The mood of most Nigerians is that of despondency and disappointment. Halfway into President Buhari’s four-year term, there is nothing to show that the change they voted for will happen before 2019.
“Nigerians are very compassionate people by nature. They have been praying for good health for the president.
“The last thing they will expect is for a president with health challenge, who has been struggling to perform his duties, to present himself for election for a second mandate.
“The best option for President Buhari is to bow out after his first tenure like Dr Nelson Mandela did in South Africa. If he re-presents himself for election, he will be humiliated at the ballot box.”
