President Muhammadu Buhari have a bright chance in winning next year's presidential election
This is the prediction of a former governor of Oyo state, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain boasted that President Buhari has both electoral and political value
A former governor of Oyo state, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, has predicted a total victory for President Muhammadu Buhari in next year’s presidential election.
Alao-Akala, who is a chieftain of the ruling APC said though the opposition is preparing well for the election, nobody stands any chance of defeating President Buhari, including his former party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to Daily Independent, Alao-Akala further boasted that President Buhari has both electoral and political value.
His words: “There is nobody who can beat President Buhari as at today, not in the PDP. I am a politician and I know this country very well. There is nobody yet who can beat Buhari. I have not seen any. May be, as time goes on, there can be other candidates.
“But, today, there is none. He will get more votes than he got the last time. I don’t see anything that has changed. The opposition is preparing yet, I don’t see anybody who can beat him now.
“In politics, some politicians have political value. Others have electoral value. Fortunately, Buhari has the two; political value and electoral value. If the election holds tomorrow, Buhari will win.”
In contrast, frontline politician and businessman, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, recently predicted that both the ruling APC and the main opposition, PDP will lose the presidential seat at the forthcoming 2019 election.
Olawepo-Hashim, 53, who made the comment while addressing select journalists in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, on Friday, June 8, said Nigerians are tired of the leading political parties in the country and are yearning for a change of the country's political status quo.
The founding member and former deputy publicity secretary of the PDP, blamed the country’s economic challenges on the “mismanagement and poor of leadership quality” of “those sneaked into power.”
