Nigeria will slide back to recession if Buhari is not reelected in 2019 – Niger Gov

Governor Abubakar Sani-Bello of Niger State has said the nation might experience several challenges if President Muhammadu Buhari does not heed the call to re-contest in 2019.

The governor also note that Nigerians will not regret electing the president for a second term in 2019.

Specifically, the governor said the country will face economic challenges and may eventually fall back into recession if President Buhari does not seek reelection.

Sani-Bello spoke when he received the people of his hometown, Kontagora, at the Government House in Minna.

He said the support declared by the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors was to ensure continuity and sustainability of Buhari’s good work of reviving the country from its economic woes and fighting corruption.

“If President Muhammadu Buhari does not contest in 2019, there will be problem in solving the enormous challenges facing the country because he is truthful, fair and just in administering the country.”

Bello, who urged Nigerians to support Buhari’s endorsement, said Nigeria would be greater under his administration.

He thanked the people for the visit and for calls for recontest, even as he assured them that ongoing projects in Kontagora and other parts of the state would be completed.

The Coordinator, Muazu Bawa Rijau, said the people were satisfied with the governor’s achievements in the last three years hence, the call for him to recontest.
