Muhammadu Buhari
Former governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aliyu Wamakko says President Buhari must be allowed to rule beyond 2019 so that he can address the numerous challenges facing Nigeria.
According to Daily Trust, Wamakko canvassed for a second term for Buhari while speaking to Law undergraduates from the Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto who paid him a visit at the National Assembly.
Wamakko said, "To me, President Buhari must be allowed to rule beyond 2019 to address the numerous challenges bedeviling the country. Four years cannot be enough to address the rot done to the country in the last 30 years.
"We cannot expect miracle from the president in view of the enormous damage done to the country, he needs to be given opportunity to be around beyond 2019.“
