He said, “Most importantly, I don’t know why the general population is asking him to challenge race in 2019. Be that as it may, I knew, he gave a meeting to a national daily paper and said he would challenge and serve for just a single term.
“There are a significant number of individuals who know the paper and the date of the paper. I accept in the event that he is capable and good he should be bound by what he embraced to do.
“Most Nigerians will state he isn’t the main government official who made a guarantee, yet broke it. I don’t trust it is noteworthy for some individual to make a guarantee and walk on that guarantee basically in light of the fact that it is his own accommodation or his companions or priests instruct him to do as such.
“Second issue needs to do with execution. In a vote based system, for there to be a honest to goodness government, you should win a free, reasonable and tenable decision. Regardless of whether you don’t stop by method for popular government, there is the thing that you bring in political terms, ‘execution authenticity.
“Presently, if we somehow happened to be genuine, we would state give this man a chance to stand and we influence him to lose the race. Yet, the dread we have is that by winning the race, by demanding that he should challenge, he should likewise win. That implies fixing.
“He will additionally partition the nation and in the event that he prevails with regards to winning the race, there might be brutality throughout the decision, or after on the grounds that, unmistakably, larger part of Nigerians don’t put stock in his fitness, don’t put stock in his trustworthiness or anything any longer. He has completed one term, let him go home and rest and deal with himself. That is my recommendation.

To start with, they guaranteed to take the Boko Haram and thrashing it. Everyone you converse with will reveal to you that Boko Haram is alive. It has not been crushed disregarding the untruths radiating from the administration and a portion of the Generals.
