2019: No obstacle to Buhari’s victory, says Nda-Isaiah

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari will return elected in 2019 without hitches, Leadership Newspapers Publisher Sam Nda-Isaiah assured at the weekend.

He said the good work being initiated under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration would enable Buhari retain his exalted seat.

He spoke to reporters in Akure, the Ondo State capital, after he was conferred with the chieftaincy title of “Aare Baroyin” of the ancient kingdom at the weekend.

Nda-Isaiah, who was a former APC presidential aspirant, however, said the party must not take things for granted.

He stressed the need to rally more support for Buhari to win the 2019 presidential poll.

His words: “I am a member of APC and I will be supporting our candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari, for the 2019 presidential and general elections.

“He will win again. Although, we are not taking things for granted that he will win just like that without any hard work.

“There is need for hard work and to explain to Nigerians about his good work, which will bring him in again.

“We are not going to take anything for granted. Of course, you all know I am not contesting this year, but I am going to rally round for his support.”

He noted that the party’s manifesto, which has spelled out the promises to the people, shall be reactivated to fulfill the “change agenda” of the Buhari-led administration.

According to Nda-Isaiah, the nation has experience a remarkable change under the APC government, mostly in agricultural sector.

This, the media executive explained, would be part of the APC campaign strategy as 2019 general elections gathered more momentum.

“Things have started growing again and we have become the biggest economy in African in spite of every other challenge. Don’t forget that recession came in and things have to change and we overcome this recession of a thing.

“Also, there are many revolutionary changes that have happened in the agricultural sector under the current government, which speaks loud,” he said.
