Executive governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha while speaking to state house correspondents said that there will be no automatic ticket for President Buhari in 2019 if he chooses to run again.
He said that while he is fully in support of the President, every interested contestant must pass through a transparent and democratic process and that there must not be any imposition of candidates.
When speaking on the idea of the President running again, he said; “There is nothing wrong. The gentleman is looking much more handsome than even before he went to hospital. He is looking stronger and so he has every right and qualification to contest, there is nothing wrong at all.
“But we don’t allow imposition of candidates, it must be democratically done. If President Buhari will lead the ship in 2019, it must be democratically done and I say democratically done, transparently to the amazement of the whole world, the way it will take place and the way we do our thing in APC.
“President Buhari is qualified constitutionally to run and good thing he is in good health, stronger than he has ever been. I think the hospital he went was a mere exercise to strengthen his nerves and bones.”
