2019 Presidency: Buhari will lose, even his wife, Aisha is not supporting him – Agbakoba
Agbakoba, has opined that President Muhammadu Buhari will lose his
re-election bid in 2019.
Agbakoba anchored his claim on the fact that under Buhari's
leadership, Nigeria was now "broken politically, strategically,
morally, and completely bankrupt."
Speaking with Daily Independent, the former NBA President insisted
that Buhari will become history come 2019.
The former NBA President, while insisting that Buhari had lost the
goodwill with which he was elected in 2015, stated that Aisha Buhari,
wife of the President was also critical of the current administration.
He said, "Completely, President Buhari has no goodwill left. All the
euphoria that was felt, I didn't feel it, because I have always known
his background.
"There was a huge euphoria of change that former President Goodluck
Jonathan had not done well; that he presided over a highly corrupt
government, and Buhari was the Mr. Clean, Mr. Integrity, and he will
fix things. But that has not happened.
"On the contrary, Nigeria is broken politically, strategically,
morally, and a completely bankrupt country. Poverty level has grown,
85 million Nigerians are extremely poor, we have now become the
poverty capital of the world.
"So, the euphoria of 2015 is certainly not the euphoria of 2019, and
that is why, personally, I am unable to support his campaign to remain
in office."
"To support the campaign to remain in office for me is to look back at
what he has done, the campaign promises on corruption, security, and
the economy. These are the three big campaign issues, nothing has been
fulfilled.
"In spite of all the monies borrowed, we are now pushing to over $30
billion borrowed money unaccountable, infrastructures all in pieces,
corruption is rife.
"You remember the case of his SGF, Babachir Lawal; you also remember
the case of Abdulrasheed Maina, and so on. So, there is nothing that
stands him out as qualified to continue.
"Even Buhari's wife has criticised the primary election that the APC
held, so that will tell you that even in the other room in his house,
he doesn't have support.
"Why would I be supporting a man whose own wife does not even support
him? For me, he is history. I just hope that we can have a new
president."
