A former presidential
spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, has said the Coalition for Nigeria Movement will
present a credible candidate who will defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in the
2019 presidential election.
He, however, said the group was
not formed to either attack the Buhari government or to discredit the APC-led
government.
Okupe, in a statement on
Saturday, said since it would be difficult task to oust an incumbent, the CNM
would scout for a credible candidate who can defeat Buhari.
Okupe stated, “It is absolutely
impossible to oppose the incumbent especially a towering figure like President
Muhammadu Buhari and hope to defeat him.
“To defeat Buhari will require an
exact repeat of what Bola Tinubu and others were able to do with the APC in
2014 by creating a broad platform encompassing the political majority in the
country.
“This strong coalition will
present a candidate to contest against Buhari with the hope of being able to
win.
“We recognise the fact that the
APC has not done well. We are convinced that the decision by Buhari to contest
again will not augur well for the country. To allow the APC to win means Buhari
will continue and that would not be in the interest of Nigerians,” he added.
