Re: 12 Reasons why President Buhari must not run in 2019!


12 REASONS WHY PRESIDENT BUHARI MUST NOT RUN IN 2019!

I am not a card carrying member of any political party in Nigeria.  I am not a politician. I am a creative writer, creative entrepreneur who has lived in Nigeria for over 40 years and more.
I am a fortunate Nigerian but have suffered greatly from bad leadership in the last 40 years or more.
I feel  the pain of the average or common Nigerian though I am fortunate to have escaped the poverty line as a Nigerian.
Nobody pays me to write. I write as I feel and have paid my dues as a writer having written for free for the last 8 years or so on social media platforms.
I do not hate President Buhari neither do I love or like him. I am neutral when it comes to him but I am convinced that we do not need President Buhari  in the seat of government for the next 4 years after the end of his 1st term.
There is no doubt that President Buhari  has  tried his best but for me and many Nigerians his best is below par as he has scored less than 40 per cent in his first term bid. We need  a more competent, agile and decisive leader in the saddle of government come 2019.
This is why I have sat down to think of 12 reasons why President Buhari must not run for presidency in 2019 or better still why Nigerians must not vote for him for a 2nd term!  
These are my 12 reasons why President Buhari must not run in 2019.
1.     He is too old to run.
2.     He did not keep his election promises in the last 4 years.
3.     He did not fight corruption headlong.
4.     Nigeria needs a younger, stronger, more dynamic and agile leader in 2019.
5.     President Buhari needs to go back to Daura and rest in 2019.
6.     Nigeria and Nigerians deserve better than President Buhari come 2019.
7.     Majority of Nigerians are unhappy with his government. There is more hunger, disunity and dissatisfaction in Nigeria now than in the past.
8.     President Buhari is not the best man for the job in 2019.
9.     Nigeria needs a technologically savvy President going forward who understands trends, technology and who can deploy technology to better the lot of Nigerians in Nigeria, presently President Buhari scores low in this regard because of the age disadvantage.
10.                        Since President Buhari took over there has been more disunity, killings and problems of the dare devil herdsmen killing over 2000 persons under his watch. This is unacceptable and we need a president who is decisive, caring and who places premium on the lives of every Nigerian regardless of tribe or gender or religion.
111.                        Nigerians must get rid of the so called recycled leaders who have governed us in the last 50 years and replace them with a crop of leaders without greed who are willing to lay down their lives to serve Nigeria and Nigerians. Unfortunately President Buhari is one of these crop of recycled leaders who have refused to leave our politics alone for the past 4 decades.
112.                        We cannot trust the APC neither can we trust the PDP any longer. Both of them have failed us and we need a new party to lead us to the promised  land. President Buhari belongs to the APC and so he too can no longer be trusted to deliver Nigeria and Nigerians from the hands of corruption, nepotism and bad governance that presently pervades our political landscape.
