Buhari will be defeated in 2019 –PDP

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it has no doubt that Nigerians will deny President Muhammadu Buhari a second term in 2019, if he decides to re-contest for the presidency.

National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, stated this in a telephone interview with Sunday Sun yesterday.

Adeyeye, who spoke against the backdrop of recent boasts by some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Buhari is unstoppable in the 2019 presidential election, said leaders and members of the ruling party had lost touch with reality.

The opposition spokesman said the reality in the country today is that Nigerians are tired of both President Buhari and the APC administration and would definitely vote them out in 2019.

He stated that it is the height of self deceit for anyone to say that President Buhari would win the 2019 presidential election, and noted that the electorate are tired of the APC and will show it at the next general election.

Adeyeye said APC chieftains could keep deceiving themselves that it is only in the social media that Buhari’s popularity has waned.

According to him, leaders of the ruling party forget that those on social media are part of the Nigerian electorate, who have lost faith in the president and are eagerly waiting for the next election to vote him out.

“Sycophantic APC chieftains keep deceiving themselves that nobody can stop Buhari in 2019. Let them keep deceiving themselves. But I know the Nigerian electorate, who he (Buhari) has impoverished since he assumed office will stop him,” Adeyeye stated.

The PDP spokesman wondered what the APC administration would point to in 2019 as its achievement to warrant Nigerians giving them a second term in office.
Adeyeye noted that  the Buhari administration apart from failing to fulfill its campaign promises to the electorate, has brought untold hardship on Nigerians since its inception on May 29, 2015.

He said: “What will they point to as their achievement in 2019? There is no doubt that the government has failed in every area. Things have never been bad in the country, as it is under the Buhari administration.”
