Your boast is empty, Junaid Mohammed counters Buhari on 2019

A Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s boast about winning the 2019 presidential election is mere empty boast and lacking in substance.

Mohammed, a former member of House of Representatives, was responding to claims by President Buhari that it was evident that he and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, will win the 2019 general elections.

The President made the claim in Daura on Friday when chairmen of local government areas of Katrina State visited him at his country home.

He said: “The boast as far as I am concerned, the man Buhari is not a democrat and he is incapable of learning to become one.

“I sincerely hope that the 2019 elections come and happen the way normal elections should hold because if what we saw happen in Ondo, Ekiti and the last three Senatorial bye elections in Katsina, Kogi, and Bauchi is what they refer to as an election, then I doubt if we are going to have an election worth its name.

“If we call it an election because people have gone to vote and there was no too much violence, but a humongous amount of money was doled out to voters in exchange for their ballots; will the election be worth anything? I doubt.”
