Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid as dead on arrival.
Fayose in a statement via his official Twitter handle said Buhari is old and tired, adding that Nigeria does not need a grandpa as President.
The Ekiti governor was reacting to President Buhari’s declaration to seek re-election in 2019.
Recall during a meeting with the National Executive Committee(NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday, the President made public his decision to seek another four years in office.
Mr Buhari said he was seeking re-election as a response to the clamour by Nigerians.
But reacting on Tuesday, Fayose said: “That 2nd term ambition of President Buhari is dead on arrival. We don’t want Grandpa as president anymore.
“He is an easy candidate to defeat in the poll because he has failed woefully. Buhari has failed in all fronts.
“Nigeria does not deserve a Buhari as president in 2019. He is old and tired.When people don’t know when to take their leave & say bye, Nigerians will show them the exit door.
“Buhari has done more harm to this country. His ambition is a means by which Nigerians will tell him good riddance to bad rubbish when they boot him out of office.”

Buhari has failed in all fronts. He has failed in his so-called fight against corruption, he has failed in the economic front. He has not done well in term of security. Gruesome killing of Nigerians is now a daily occurrence in Nigeria.
