Nigeria needs a young, strong and agile president come 2019,
Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere said this
while reacting to the alleged statement by US President, Donald Trump
that President Muhammadu Buhari is "lifeless"
Trump made the statement shortly after a meeting between the two
leaders on April 30, Financial Times reported on Monday.
Reacting, Odumakin in a statement said Buhari is not qualified to be
the President as the job of managing the affairs of Nigeria is not for
somebody in a vegetative status.
He stated that Trump's statement shows that Buhari's handlers are not
showing Nigerians the real situation of things.
His statement reads: "If someone who wants to be president of Nigeria
had to be trekking 800 metres to convince us that he is fit, I have
always pointed to the fact that it is an evidence that there is
something wrong.
"And now if the President of America could make that kind of
observation, it is clear that the situation of things is not what the
president's handlers want us to believe.
"Someone that went to spend months in hospitals, that is going on
medical vacation every now and then to London, clearly something is
wrong.
"The job of the Nigerian president is not the job for anybody that is
vegetative. We need a strong, agile president come 2019."
