2019: 7 PDP’ Heavyweigh­ts that may slug it out with Buhari

-

President Muhammadu Buhari has no opponent as far as politics in Nigeria is concerned at the moment. No amount of money can sway the peoples’ votes. All these politician­s should note that their billions cannot buy our support. I will continue to support Buhari, because he is a man of integrity.

Nasir Shuaibu

To the best of my knowledge, no one among the seven people mentioned stands a chance in 2019. But we shall wait and see. I know that time will determine everything.

Abdullahi Garba

My question is; do the people mentioned have the integrity we require? We should also remember that one with God is majority.

Rabiu AB ISmaeel

A sitting president with all the resources available to him couldn’t defeat PMB in 2015. How then can the people mentioned in this story defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019, if he decides to run? I don’t think PDP members know how popular the current president is.

Israel Otache

I pledge my support for Sule Lamido and Donald Duke. I am confident that the PDP will bounce back in 2019.

Iheukwu Uzor

The PDP chieftains should concentrat­e more on building their party at the state level, because the masses are watching and from my analysis PMB has redeemed 58 per cent of his campaign promises and by the end of 2018, he would have delivered about 75 per cent.

Ugo James

Politician­s are free to test their popularity, but they should know that if President Buhari decides to seek a second term, it will be a tough fight. Nurudeen Mohammed

They are all free to aspire for that position and I can state very clearly that no PDP member will go far. It will be difficult to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari if he decides to run. The crowd that trooped out to welcome him on Saturday is a testimony of how much Nigerians love him.

Auwal Moga

Buhari cannot be defeated by any of the seven mentioned in the report.

Kaka Gana Mustapha

Among the seven mentioned, Gombe State Governor Hassan Dankwanbo is the only one who stands a chance.

MB Yazeed Abbare

My question to all those supporting this administra­tion is; what has it achieved? Each time I ask this question, people will say… fight against corruption.

But despite the fight against corruption, nobody has been sent to jail and that gives me cause for concern.

Desmond Gogo Owen

This is unfair to the South-east. The only region where the PDP is still strong is the South-east, but no one on the list is from the region. Secondly, in my opinion, Donald Duke is the only one among the seven that can make an impact.

Oyelade Olalekan

With what we witnessed on Saturday when President Muhammadu Buhari returned, I can state clearly that majority of Nigerians are fully behind him. I am confident that in 2019, the masses will line up behind PMB or anyone he anoints. May Allah heal the president fully.

Aliyu Kafindangi

If the man who will slug it out with President Muhammadu Buhari, is among the seven named in this report, then PMB will have an easy ride in 2019.

Abubakar Mustapha Sa’ad

If Senator Mark and former governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke work together, it will be good for the nation.

Aderinkola Adegboyega

All we need is a man who will lead us well and I pray that God guides us in the right direction.
