Buhari’s Second Term Declaration Timely – Gov. Shettima
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state has called on all the All Progressives Congress (APC) faithful to support President Muhammadu Buhari for re-election in 2019.
The governor made the call in a Facebook post in reaction to the declaration by Buhari to re-contest.
The President on Monday declared his intention to run for a second term at the National Executive Council meeting of the APC in Abuja.
Shettima, who along with other governors previously called on the President to seek re-election, welcomed the news.
The governor added that the President’s declaration would put to rest the speculations of the past months and stabilise the polity.
He said, “As Nigerians can testify, silence on the part of the President creates uncertainty in the polity with all sorts of assumptions. I believe that Mr President’s notice of intention will not only calm the polity but will indeed, give the APC a better sense of direction.
“Insha’Allah, as Governors, we will give the President and our party, all that is in us to once again, win the election.”
He called on APC supporters to sensitise their friends, relatives, neighbours and colleagues about the challenges the Buhari administration inherited in 2015 and encourage them to support his re-election bid.
