A former Governor of Yobe State, Senator Abba Bukar Ibrahim, on Saturday, said President Muhammadu Buhari could be a life President of Nigeria, while appreciating him for signing the North East Development Commission (NEDC) Bill into law.
The lawmaker, who stated this while speaking with journalists in Abuja, expressed faith in the President’s capacity to tackle insurgency to the barest minimum in the Boko Haram devastated geopolitical zone.
Commending President Buhari for the kindness he demonstrated to the people of the North East by supporting the legislation to alleviate the suffering of the people of the region, Ibrahim described the presidential assent as a landmark towards addressing the pathetic plights of the people of the area.
He noted that the signing into law, of the NEDC Bill, was as a result of Buhari’s understanding of the zone, when he served as Military Administrator of Borno State.
“I must commend President Buhari for signing the North East Development Commission Bill into law. I do know that Buhari understands the economy of Northeast having being Military Administrator of the old Borno State, and how the zone has been devastated now. He is also sympathetic to the people,” he added.
Commenting on Buhari’s intention to contest the 2019 presidential election, he expressed his opinion that Buhari could be President all his life.
“On 2019 presidential election, President Buhari can be a life President and we will all support him. If he decides to contest in 2019 on the platform of APC, we will support him to win,” he stated.
