''Nigerians would beg Buhari to seek re-election in 2019'' - Adebayo Shittu

Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu says Nigerians would beg President Buhari to run for a second term in office because he is like a Father figure to Nigerians unlike his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan who never symbolized anything to the country when he was in office. Adebayo said this in a recent interview with Tribune.

“We still have two years. But I want to assure you that by the grace of God, we would urge him to seek re-election because it is only once in a while that you get a father figure for a nation to move forward and attain greatness. He is unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, who never, with due respect, symbolised anything for the country. Buhari’s body language is enough to compel people to do things rightly. In the area of finances, electricity and others. A lot of people have had to sit up even before he speaks. So, we need the Buhari father figure for a length of time for the country to get its act right to attain greatness under his leadership"he said
