Vice president Yemi Osinbajo has said President Muhammadu Buhari is
focused on delivering on the promises he made to Nigerians and is not talking
about the general election due in 2019. “The president is focused on this term.
He wants to ensure that he delivers on the promises that were made. He
is not talking about 2019,” Reuters reported Yemi Osinbajo as saying in an
interview with CNBC on Thursday, January 25.
It was earlier reported Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria's former
president, on Tuesday, January 23, asked President Muhammadu Buhari, not to
seek re-election in 2019 as he is already being pressured to do by some
Nigerians.
In a statement: The Way Out: A Clarion Call for Coalition for Nigeria
Movement, Obasanjo said President Buhari has performed far below expectation
just as he added that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not the solution
to the country's challenges.
Premium Times reported Obasanjo as asking Buhari to honourably dismount
from the horse and join the league of former leaders whose experience,
influence, wisdom and outreach can be deployed on the side line for the good of
the country.
Obasanjo said he was not excited with the way Buhari, who he supported
during the 2015 general elections against Goodluck Jonathan, had handled the
country. He said even Jonathan had come to realise that he made some mistakes
and had publicly regretted them.
