The Plateau North senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rufus Bature, has said that there were no fears over President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid, saying only God could stop Buhari from winning a second term in 2019.
Bature made this known in an interview publised by Daily Sun on Thursday.
He added that nobody, including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), could stop Buhari’s re-election.
The APC chieftain, while responding to a question on his fears for Buhari’s second term bid, said:
“Honestly, I do not have any fear. Only God can stop Buhari from winning the 2019 presidential election. You will remember this day that I said only God will stop Buhari and not Atiku Abubakar. Buhari will win his election without any obstruction. I am not a Prophet but from what I see, and what I hear, Buhari will win the election. I have the confidence that Buhari will get more votes in Plateau and in all parts of the country than he got in 2015, because different groups are mobilising for massive votes for him and the APC in 2019. I have not seen anybody that will thwart his re-election, not even Atiku Abubakar.”
“Why should he (Oshiomhole) resign? Unless they have found him wanting with clear cases of mismanagement, clear cases of corruption or cases of ineptitude. If he is not found wanting in any of these why should he resign? One thing with him is that as a Labour man, he has been so combative to an extent that people are not comfortable with him but I believe that he should give a little ear to whoever has a complaint. Like the president said, he should not bar people from going to court, if you genuinely feel that you are aggrieved, you can seek for redress in the court of law because that is what our constitution says. The Constitution of APC cannot be above the Constitution of Nigeria; therefore, I agree with Mr. President that whoever feels aggrieved should seek redress in any court of law.”
