Femi Adesina says President
Muhammadu Buhari would rather lose the 2019 presidential election than rig it.
The presidential spokesman said
this while speaking during a programme on ARISE TV on Tuesday.
Commenting on concerns raised
ahead of the 2019 elections, Adesina said the process will be free and fair.
“I’m surprised that this
president has been with you for three and half years and yet you do not seem to
know him,” he said.
“If anybody would rig election or
anything, it will not be President Muhammadu Buhari. He would rather even
prefer to lose fair and square.
“He has even said it before that
if the only thing he would leave as a legacy for Nigeria is free and fair
election, he would do it. Forget that the election would be rigged, that will
not happen.”
Reacting to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) statement that Buhari’s ‘Next Level’ document “failed to
articulate any solutions,” Adesina said: “PDP is down and will remain there for
a very long time so I’d rather not talk about them.
“The Next Level is about
deepening what is happening in the country. It’s about consolidating on what
has been done and what is been done; its about making progress and advancing on
what we are doing now. That is the sum total of it.
“A lot of Nigerians believe in
what this administration is doing, they have faith, they have confidence, they
have hope that the administration will take Nigerians to the place it deserves
to be.
“The work in progress will
continue and if you look at the documents that were released, you’ll see
additional focal areas.
“So in the next dispensation and
by the goodwill of Nigerians who will re-elect the current administration,
these three focal areas (security, economy and infrastructure) will continue to
receive attention and there will be additional ones as you’ve seen in the
documents.”
Commenting on the indictment of
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and the National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA) over the N5.8 billion fund released for internally displaced persons
(IDPs), Adesina said, “it is more of a political thing rather than something
grounded in facts and truth”.
You already know. PMB is losing this election and nothing is stopping him from. Losing. Even if he rig, he will still lose. Was he not the one that allow his foot soldier to rig Osun election?
