The opposition party among other things promised to shock President Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of the 2019 general elections.

The party said the president will lose “in places he currently boasts of as his political stronghold,” adding that the people around him “have since deserted him within and only waiting for 2019 to free themselves from the stranglehold of his misrule”.
