2019: Race for Buhari’s job now fiercer, politicians joining forces against President – Presidency

The Presidency has observed that politicians are mustering all their energy in their quest for who occupies the nation’s seat of power, adding that some opposition elements were collaborating to fight President Muhammadu Buhari because his administration has successfully blocked every avenue to loot the nation’s treasury.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Garbu Shehu, who stated this on Monday when he spoke to journalists at the headquarters of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abuja during a visit to the national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, was upbeat that such conspiracy will not succeed.

He asserted that the renewed agitation by those who constituted themselves into opposition elements was coming because the war against the treasury looters was succeeding.

According to Shehu, “The problem is that the competition for power in the country has become fiercer and fiercer because the stakes are very high and I will give you one example.

“The President has unleashed on the country a war against corruption, the type that has never been seen before. Assets are being recovered from powerful people. The President is lucky that he has a judiciary which is transforming itself and on the same page with the President in fighting corruption.

“As I speak with you, you know that two former state governors are in jail. A lot of people thought that this war against corruption is a joke and that the back and forth that has characterised the process over time will continue.

“One of the two cases that we are talking about was determined after eleven years of back and forth between lawyers and Judges, kicking the ball from this court to that court. But now, there is a new era in the country with the conclusion of these cases,” he said.

The presidential spokesman maintained that a lot of these harsh attack against the President were coming from people who had become used to lifestyle that they can no longer sustain.

“We have on record that we have people in this country, that because they were influential, they have permanent suites attached to them in Abuja.

“They will just come, take the key and live lavishly at public expense. When they are leaving, they are accompanied by bags of Ghana must go. The President has blocked access to national resources by lazy people and so, he is being fought not because people are not happy.”
