BUHARI The 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.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.
