The Buhari Media Organisation, BMO, on Monday, rubbished the report by
the United States, US, President, Donald Trump that President Muhammadu Buhari is a “lifeless President.”
BMO insisted that Buhari was fit and capable of running for the 2019 elections.
In a statement signed by the group’s Chairman and Secretary, Niyi
Akinsiju and Cassidy Maduekwe, BMO noted that this was not the first
time Trump was heard to make such derogatory remarks at World leaders,
hence Buhari would not be distracted by such.
The statement reads, “President Muhammadu Buhari is fit and capable
to run for the 2019 elections and oversee the affairs of the country for
four more years President Donald Trump’s hate speech notwithstanding.
“We are aware that President Trump’s disrespect for World Leaders is
not new; his comments on Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau,
calling him ‘meek and mild’; his reference to Germany’s Leader, Angela
Merkel’s actions as ‘insane’, or his outlandish Tweet at the UK’s
Theresa May, and more recently, the alleged remarks he made after
meeting President Buhari.
“It is indeed not the first time President Trump would be heard to
lower the standards of respect for his colleagues on the World Stage. We
are not surprised, we know that this age-long character of the US
President would not change anytime soon. But it is important that we put
it on record that President Buhari remains fit and sprightly, even for
the next decade.
“We recall that during President Buhari’s visit to Trump in the White
House, the US President commended the successes that the Buhari
administration had recorded especially in the fight against insurgency
and the war on corruption.
“The US President was full of admiration for Nigeria’s President
during the visit, thus such outlandish remarks as reported by the
Financial Times are not just to be taken with a pinch of salt but are
untrue in themselves.”
