The Association of Nigerian Seers has said that the 2019 general election will not be like a tea party for President Muhammadu Buhari, stating the opposition candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is a real threat.
The association through its spokesman, Dr. Okhue Iboi in an interview with the Vanguard Newspaper said the founding fathers of Nigeria recently appeared to them on Zuma Rock during an appeasement on behalf of the nation.
Nigerians should not panic over the election, that it would be free and fair.
He, however, said the crises rocking the APC over the conduct of its primaries may jeopardize the President’s re-election chances.
His words;
"Nigerians should not panic, there is no cause for alarm. At our recent meeting on Zuma Rock, Abuja, it was revealed to us that the elections will be rancour-free. The nation’s founding fathers- the Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Dr. NnamdiAzikiwe and Chief ObafemiAwolowo- appeared before us and asked us to tell Nigerians not to panic over the 2019 elections, that all will be well, but expressed their reservations over some things happening in the country.
"They asked us specifically to tell President Muhammadu Buhari that they are not happy that 58 years after independence, Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world under his watch, that hunger and poverty has become a way of life in Nigeria today."
"Although they commended the president for recording some successes in the power sector, war against corruption and in the area of infrastructural development, they are at all not happy with the widespread killings in the country and the general insecurity across the land."
"They equally expressed their dismay at the way Boko Haram are killing Nigerian soldiers and ravaging the entire North East axis of the country. They fear that unless President Buhari acts fast to arrest the deteriorating security situation in the Northeast, the Boko Haram attacks may threaten the successful conduct of the 2019 general elections."
