It Will Be Impossible To Defeat President Buhari In 2019, Doyin Okupe Confesses

A former Presidential adviser and spokesman, Dr.Doyin Okupe, has confessed that it will be absolutely impossible for opposition political party candidates to defeat the incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 election.

“It is absolutely impossible to oppose the incumbent especially a towering figure like President Muhammadu Buhari and hope to defeat him.”

In a statement today, Sunday, Dr. Okupe said that since it would be difficult to defeat an incumbent, the Olusegun Obasanjo’s Coalition of Nigeria Movement (CNM) will be the only broad platform on which a President candidate could defeat Buhari.

“To defeat Buhari will require an exact repeat of what Bola Tinubu and others were able to do with the APC in 2014 by creating a broad platform encompassing the political majority in the country. This strong coalition will present a candidate to contest against Buhari with the hope of being able to win.”

“We recognize the fact that the APC has not done well. We are convinced that the decision by Buhari to contest again will not augur well for the country. To allow the APC to win means Buhari will continue and that would not be in the interest of Nigerians.” [myad]
