The minister of communication, Adebayo Shittu, has said that former President Goodluck Jonathan never symbolised anything for Nigeria unlike President Muhammadu Buhari who is a father figure that is ever ready to take Nigeria to a greater height. Shittu adebayo Shittu, made the remark known to newsmen (Tribune), while reiterating the reason why Nigerians would beg Buhari to run for 2019 presidential election, cum his chances of getting Oyo state’s All Progressives Congress governorship ticket with about 16 others.

According to him, “We still have two years. But I want to assure you that by the grace of God, we would urge him to seek re-election because it is only once in a while that you get a father figure for a nation to move forward and attain greatness.

“He is unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, who never, with due respect, symbolised anything for the country. “Buhari’s body language is enough to compel people to do things rightly. In the area of finances, electricity and others. A lot of people have had to sit up even before he speaks. So, we need the Buhari father figure for a length of time for the country to get its act right to attain greatness under his leadership.

However, Shittu, pointing at the number coming for APC’S Oyo’s governoship ticket he said, “I don’t get upset by the number. I expect we will have many more. But, I know that there are so many upstarts who only want attention for the purpose of either going to the Senate or the House of Representatives or getting commissionership eventually.

Speaking further he said, “When the time comes, men will emerge and the boys will be separated. If you look at the records, I am the most senior in age among all the so-called governorship hopefuls. I am the most senior in terms of the years of commencement to politics. I started politics in 1979, after I had become a lawyer already. I became a member of the state House of Assembly as a fresh lawyer. “So, if I was already a lawyer in 1979 before starting a political journey, you would agree with me that, looking at the records of all others, with due respect t

ur oga hasn't done anything since assuming office. Resign he no gree.

Ndi ara!!

Ebi like say Buhari is a heart attack to some people.

Buhari symbolises our ancestors. We respect them because they are in the past, Nigeria made the mistake of bringing one of the leaders who was better off as an ancestor into it's present. And that ancestor has done what any ancestor would do, taking the people many decades back to his era.

Young man, ever since you registered on nairaland and started wishing Buhari your blessings and get-well-soon messages, his health has gone from bad to worse to worst. Please don't ever pray for me or wish me anything. Thank you

d man GEJ still giving dis pipul sleepless nights even after two years leaving power. a sign dat they ar still very much intimidated by his achievements. something they can only dream of. their constant attemp to compare their dullard with GEJ at every giving opportunity shows dat d dullard is notin but mere mediocre. d rate of hunger n insecurity currently ravaging d con3 is a testament to buari's directionless govt.
no matter how they try to malign GEJ, history will never associate his govt with HUNGER n SUFFERING like buari's regime.

One don't have to become an App for politician. I mean human being should be better than animal at least for once. Lashing the ex president when the current one is yet to make any major impact in the lives of Nigerians. Enough of this blind and childish supporters left and right.

Yes he is a father figure that's why people don't really rate education again but fate or grace because of our president non-existing waec certificate.
yes he is father figure that is why he wants to rule us from the house and when other people want to copy his style of governance you will complain
yes he is a father figure thats why all the northern states have the highest numbers of accepted/qualified applicants for the DSS job
yes he is a father figure thats why he cant address the nation since he came back from his sick leave
yes he is a father figure thats why the minimum wage is still 18k but prices of goods and services have tripled under his watch

Oh what a father figure !!!!!!!!

After 4 years, I wonder who they will blame.

Leaders that cannot take responsibility when they ought to.

The piper will always dictate the tune for the dancer...talk bad of your employee and sack letter go wait you ...minister I understand your position...

Hmmmm... Father that cannot address his people on worker's day.
