"Those who are going to vote are not the people on the social media; it is the ordinary people. His support base is the ordinary man. And he won’t take up a job he cannot do. Nigeria has to be re-grounded.”

Meanwhile, Senator Ayo Arise has said those hoping to capitalise on Muhammadu Buhari’s challenges to campaign against him in 2019 would be shocked by the president.

Speaking in an interview with the Sun which was published on Sunday, November 5, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said he does not see anything wrong if Buhari wants to run for a second term, since he had survived the worst ailment of his life.
