The immediate past Minister of Communication , Adebayo Shittu , on
Wednesday said the All Progressives Congress might find it difficult to
get votes in the 2023 general elections if the party failed to put its
house in order.
The ex -minister spoke in Osogbo while featuring on ‘
The Frontliners ” a programme organised by the Association of Veteran
Journalists, Osun State branch .
Shittu , who described as idiotic
the insinuations that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, (
retd.) , would be seeking third term in 2023, said in the last two
presidential elections , Buhari got over 15 million votes with 12
million of the votes coming from the North alone.
He said , “ In the
last two elections , Buhari got over 15 million votes and that is
because he is on the ballot . From the North alone, he got over 12
million votes on each occasion .
“ If the APC is not careful and put
its house in order , where will the vote come in 2023 if the magnet of
Buhari is no more on the ballot ?
“ Buhari is the most selfless leader Nigeria ever had . This is one President who when elected slashed his salary by 50 per cent
“
As we also know, his lifestyle for the past 20 years has not changed.
He is not flamboyant. What he is looking for is good legacy.
“
Obasanjo failed when he attempted it (third term ); so you think a less
ambitious person would now be the one to do that ? It will not happen,
so I think it is not a matter we should focus on . It is a waste of
time, ” Shittu said
