Hon. Jibrin with President Muhammadu Buhari after their meeting in Aso Rock.
Honorable Abdulmumin Jibrin (APC-Bebeji/Kiru) has insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari will win the 2019 presidential election.
The lawmaker expressed confidence that the defection of some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not stop the President from winning the poll.
Speaking to channels, he also said: “I don’t want to particularly say they (the defectors) do not have value, but the point that I’ve made consistently is that whatever value they carry, whatever value they have, whether political value or electoral value, it’s not going to affect the chances of Mr President and the chances of APC in the next coming election.”
Jibrin, who was suspended by the leadership of the House of Assembly, admitted that the 2019 election would be a tough one.
The lawmaker said a close election would be best for Nigeria democracy.
