The health of President Muhammadu Buhari, rather than seeking a
second term ticket for him was the priority of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), according to the national chairman of the party, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun.
According to DailyPost said that Oyegun spoke Monday in Abuja while
addressing the media on the midterm scorecard of the APC-led
administration.
Oyegun, however, said the issue of the candidacy of the party in
the 2019 presidential election was not a priority now but Buhari’s good
health.
“Why build bridges if there is no river to cross? Why don’t you
wait until you come across a river then you build a bridge. With all
due respect, for what it stands for, what is critical today is that our
prayer is our good Lord will restore the president to robust, good
health; that is the first thing.
“But the prime thing that he will be considering today isn’t to
think of 2019. It is to have his health fully restored and I am sure he
will give anything just to have his health restored. Let’s terminate it
at that point; when 2019 comes we will deal with the issues that
arise.”
On the alleged frosty relationship between the presidency and the
party leadership, Oyegun denied alienating himself from the seat of
power, but said he was always in good communication with Buhari.
His words: “I have done a lot of things with the president in
the past. I have known him from the civil service days; I have known him
from the military head of state days.
“I was one of his close aides. So let them enjoy themselves and
pose for photograph. That isn’t the issue. The issue is that we
communicate and the relationship is cordial.”
