The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, David Babachir Lawal, on Tuesday, disclosed that the ailing President, Muhammadu Buhari will contest and win the 2019 presidential election, adding that those wishing the President death would die before him.
According to Babachir, “by the end of Buhari’s second term, he would have put the country on a sound economic footing that it would be difficult for anyone to return the country to what obtained during the Goodluck Jonathan years in office.”
Addressing hundreds of protesters, who locked down a section of the Three Arms Zone in Abuja in demonstration of their support to the Buhari administration, the SGF said those fighting the present government benefited immensely from past proceeds of corruption.
Flanked by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, he told the protesters that though some of Buhari’s critics wanted the President dead, but asserted that they would instead die before him
“Shamelessly, they accused the President of not performing. And, in fact, some of them wished him dead. But I can assure you that by the grace of God, he will outlive all of them.
“Baba Buhari did not anticipate the problem that we are in. I am sure you are all aware. The people who caused this problem are the ones challenging the government. I tell you that they will fail in the name of God.
“In fact, they have failed. You are aware of the economy that the President inherited, the economy in which revenue has virtually collapsed. The infrastructure is nowhere to be seen. The roads were dilapidated; the schools were dilapidated. The hospitals were abandoned. The people who caused it are not worried at all.
“I assure you that by the grace of God, in the next one year, Nigeria will have a booming economy. We know what they are doing to sabotage the activities of government to bring Nigeria back to economic prosperity but the President is also aware. They will fail,” he said.
The SGF, who implied that the President would contest and win the 2019 presidential elections, said no one would be able to take Nigeria back to the days of ex-President Jonathan, at the completion of Buhari’s second term of office in 2023.
According to him “Nigeria will never go back to the position it was before 2015. The foundation being laid by the government is solid. And nobody, even after the President has finished his eight years, can ever take us back to the pre-2015 days.
