Buhari has done nothing to seek re-election —Senate minority leader
The Senate Minority leader, Biodun Olujimi says President Muhammadu Buhari who is also the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had nothing to show for his first term and hence, Nigerians should not vote for him in the 2019 general election.
Olujimi who is representing Ekiti South in the senate, spoke at Ikere Ekiti on Thursday while distributing Mathematics and English Language textbooks to public secondary schools in the senatorial district.
She said the President did not have the gall to speak to Nigerians because he had nothing to show for his almost four years in office.
She also said the recent controversy around the identity of the President combined with his lack of vision were enough for him to step aside for a leader who would turn around the fortune of the country.
She added that only the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar could deliver on that.
She said, “President Buhari does not have anything to campaign with as his achievements in the last four years. Maybe that is why he has been finding it difficult to address Nigerians.
“The situation in the country at present requires a leader with vision and ability to put things right. That is where the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, comes in.

“For now, we have a President who cannot address Nigerians. We have a President with identity crisis.
“Evaluate the Buhari-led government for the past four years – look at the condition of roads across the country, look at electricity supply, consider water situation and the growing insecurity – you will discover that there is no reason to vote for Buhari.”
The PDP stalwart who was represented by her campaign director, Sanya Adesua, added that distribution of the materials was not about her election but rather about her desire to continue to touch lives
