Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar has said defeating President Muhammadu Buhari will be a cakewalk for him if the president runs against him in 2019.
Premium Times reports that Abubakar said Buhari has become politically weak after squandering the goodwill Nigerians accorded him during the 2015 elections.
NAIJ.com gathered that Abubaka said: “I will definitely beat him this time. He has wasted a lot of his massive goodwill.”
The former vice-president was interviewed by Dele Momodu for his column which was published on Saturday, December 2, in The Boss Newspaper.
The former vice-president insisted that he would not allow incompetent people to run down the country when God had given him the talent and wherewithal to lead the country.
Atiku, in a one-on-one interactive session with the publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, accused President Buhari of turning the APC into a one-man party, saying that his decision to dump the ruling party was not borne out of desperation to become the president.
However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national publicity secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi said President Buhari would easily defeat the former vice president should he stand for re-election.
