BUHARIThe Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mal. Garba Shehu on Monday dismissed suggestions that the masses will desert President Buhari in 2019.A former CPC member, Alhaji Buba Galadima had claimed that President Buhari would be abandoned by the people in 2019.
A former CPC member, Alhaji Buba Galadima had claimed that President Buhari would be abandoned by the people in 2019.

In a statement issued in Abuja, Garba Shehu described the suggestion as unfounded and utterly ridiculous.

According to him, the ordinary Nigerians are the backbone of his mandate and the only reason he ran for the office is to protect them against the rapacious merchants of corruption, who have held Nigeria back for decades.

He said that Galadima’s calculation and prediction is utterly confused and misleading.

The masses, he said, are solidly behind Buhari because he is not stealing their money and their future.

He stressed that the President’s enormous goodwill remains ever strong because the people are convinced the President is acting in their best interest, despite the temporary unintended consequences of reforms.

He said: “President Muhammadu Buhari is far from isolation. He enjoys a very strategic relationship with ordinary Nigerians. This relationship is as solid as the proverbial rock. If Buba Galadima thinks that because he has no role and no job in this government that means president is isolated he is putting himself up to ridicule.”

He said that Galadima cannot speak for the masses as far as their steadfast loyalty to Buhari is concerned.

Acknowledging that Galadima was entitled to advance his own political agenda, Malam Garba said Galadima didn’t have the right to decide for ordinary voters.

He recalled that Buba Galadima’s disagreement with President Buhari was based on principle.

He explained that President Buhari is committed to level playing field and would not want anyone to link his name to injustice.

The Presidential media aide said Galadima’s disagreement with Buhari started in 2011 when a group within the party, orchestrated an organizational mess by which the CPC embarked on the imposition and substitution of candidates for cash payments at the expense of those duly and democratically elected.

He said Muhammadu Buhari was embarrassed by the incidents and complaints about the imposition and substitution of candidates, adding that he, as a democrat, would not suppress the will of the people to please selfish interests.

“Consequently he dispensed with the service, such as they are, of Buba Galadima; ran and won the 2015 Elections without them. Let Buba Galadima go to his constituency, stand for election and see what will happen to him,” he stated.
