PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has been advised by Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, not to seek re-election in the 2019 presidential election.

The governor conveyed his advise to the president in a congratulatory message to Mr. Buhari on the occasion of his 75th birthday.

Fayose in a statement on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, said “the President had served the nation as far as he could with his advance age.”

Fayose also noted that it would be honourable for the President to quit the stage when the ovation is loudest.

“This is to congratulate Mr President as he clocks 75. I want to thank God for his life and pray for good health in the service of our nation and that he continues to age with grace. I wish him the best. He represents us all and we owe him prayers and cooperation where necessary, just as we also need to criticise him too where necessary,” he added.
