PDP on Buhari’s on declaration for presidential re-election in 2019

The PDP said it has nothing to say about the declaration by the president as it had only placed Buhari among the list of Nigerians seeking to contest in 2019. 

“The declaration has placed President Buhari among the ranks of aspirants seeking to be the president of the federal republic, effective May 29, 2019. Until he becomes the candidate of the APC, we will not spend precious time on his mere show of interest,” a statement released by the party in the evening of Monday, April 9, said. 

Alhaji Sidi Ali, publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto state, said: “Buhari has all it takes to re-contest and the decision is a welcome development." 

The chieftains noted that the outstanding performance of the president qualified him to run for re-election to consolidate on the achievements recorded in his first term. The chieftains spoke in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abakaliki.
