What Nigerians think of Buhari’s 2019 declaration

I’m not happy about his announcement. A second term for Buhari is a big ‘no’ for me. The situation in the country is not pleasant. There are no jobs and almost everything is at a standstill. He should give someone else the chance to do the needful.
Baba Arome Fidelis, 33, Lagos
Buhari’s declaration is a waste of time. For three years we have been deceived and brainwashed. Nigerians have seen the light, and when the time for election comes, we shall vote for the right candidate and that person is definitely not Buhari.
Abubakar Ibrahim, 29, Student, Jabi, Abuja
It’s a welcome development. I support him for second term. Let’s see what he has in store for us. After all, four years is a short time to change Nigeria.
Bashiru Isah, 26, Welder, Karimo, Abuja
I approve of President Buhari’s decision to contest. In the past, the rate of corruption was very high but I believe we have also seen a drastic reduction since he came to power. So, I think he deserves the chance to continue the work he has started for another four years.
Ibe Wada, 23, Student, Kogi State
It will be a total shutdown for Nigeria if President Buhari eventually contests for the 2019 election, not when he has dashed our hopes and we are yet to recover from the change he promised.
Abdullahi Suleiman Otiwe, 22, Kogi State
Buhari’s declaration to seek re-election is in the interest of Nigerian democracy. He will either win or lose but whatever be the case, the political development afterwards is the test we desire for the advancement of our jealously guarded democracy.
James Eze, 36, Businessman, Lugbe, Abuja
It’s unfortunate our president has failed us. I don’t know why he feels so compelled to stay in Aso Villa. My view is that he should not contest, let capable hands rule this country.
Adah Odeh, 42, Businessman, Mararaba, Nasarawa State
I want him to contest in 2019. I know the country has gone through a difficult period recently, but it’s not his fault. The Peoples Democratic Party that ruled for 16 years ruined a lot of good things for the country and all Buhari is trying to do is correct them. So I support him to recontest.
