2019 Presidency: Buhari's Candidature, A Liability To APC - Chekwas Okorie

The National chairman of the United Progressives Party (UPP), Chekwas Okorie, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s first tenure was a nightmare and predicted that his candidature for the 2019 presidency would be a liability to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Recall that Okorie, last year, predicted that President Buhari will not re-contest the Presidential election in 2019. 

But, the President, at a National Executive Council meeting of the ruling party yesterday, disclosed his intentions to go for a second term in office.

However, Okorie while reacting to Buhari’s disclosure of intention to run for second term told Sun Newspaper: “We want to sympathise with the APC because they now have to grapple with the liability of having to present President Buhari to voters.

“In his first tenure, he became a nightmare to Nigerians and a monumental disaster. His failed promises, nepotism, sectionalism, lack of security of lives and properties, all these would haunt him in the campaigns leading to the next elections. It would be a tragedy for Nigerians to even contemplate another four years of this type of nightmare.

“APC has been in this quagmire for quite a while because they do not seem to have an alternative option and now that the battle line is drawn, it is left for Nigerians to choose between life and darkness.”
