Buhari should not contest in 2019 —Cleric

Oyo State chairman of the Christian Welfare Initiative (CWI), Reverend (Dr) Joseph Ayoade Adekunle, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to abandon plans to seek re-election in 2019.

He stated this while fielding questions from newsmen after a prayer session, organised by the Ona-Ara Local Government Area chapter of the CWI in Oyo State, at God Loving Church, Ifelodun, Olunloyo Area, Ibadan.

While commending President Buhari’s “good intentions to put the country on the steady path of development,” he lamented his “inability to take firm decisions,” noting that issues regarding corruption were swept under the carpet.

“There is nothing Buhari can do to win back the hearts of many Nigerians. So, the best thing for him is to forget the ambition and leave the stage when the ovation is loudest,” he stated.

The event, which featured a goodwill message from the national chairman of CWI, Archbishop Magnus  Atilade, saw members of the CWI, numbering more than 750, praying for peace and unity for Nigeria and for divine intervention on the challenges affecting the nation’s development.
