2019 Election: Why Buhari will lose second term – Umar Ardo

A former Special Assistant to ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Umar Ardo has revealed how the opposition party will kick President Muhammadu Buhari out of power in 2019.



Ardo said the PDP was trying its best to put its house in order ahead of the general elections next year.


He told Vanguard that even Nigerians were eargerly waiting for 2019 because the current government had made life difficult for them.


According to him, “In spite of all these things, PDP is waxing stronger and as of now, it is the only political party that is so entrenched in Nigeria to remove this sitting government within the next few months.


“How does PDP intend to achieve this? PDP will achieve this by defining itself, creating a strategy that will change some views that the ruling party wants Nigerians to hold and coming up with other members of political parties and sponsoring a credible and sellable candidate.


“Now Buhari after three years as president, what we have seen is his incapability, incapacity, incompetence.


“With these things and the inability of the government of the day to change the situation dramatically as expected and as promised by the APC propaganda machine, their inability to match words with deeds have made a lot of Nigerians all over the country to doubt the ability of Buhari’s regime to make any change, there is no change.”
