Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, April 9
declared his intention to seek re-election in the 2019 general elections. Some
Nigerians have expressed their displeasure over the president’s re-election
bid, while pro-Buharists have continued to garner supports for his second term ambition.
On the basis of the foregoing, nigeriantopsecret.blogsopt.com highlights 7
reasons President Muhammadu Buhari
may lose re-election in 2019.
1. Herdsmen attack Nigeria has been
battling with the crises between herdsmen and farmers before the present
administration came on board, but with the antecedent of President Muhammadu Buhari, many believed that
within the shortest pace of time, herdsmen attack across the country would be a
thing of the past. But they were wrong as these crises linger on and many lives
have been lost in it. Amnesty
International (AI), a global human rights watchdog, described the response of
the federal government to communal violence as grossly inadequate, too slow,
ineffective, and in certain instances, illegal. AI claimed that in January 2018
alone, clashes between herdsmen and farmers in Adamawa, Benue, Taraba, Ondo ,
Kogi, Osun, Ekiti, and Kaduna states, resulted in 168 deaths. According to the body, hundreds of people lost
their lives in 2015 to 2018 and the federal government remained unable to
protect communities from the violent clashes, adding that perpetrators were
daily getting away with murder.
This reality is worrisome and Nigerians are
tired of the killing by armed herdsmen. This and other factors will guide them
to the poll in 2019.
2. Recession In August 2016,
Nigeria Nigeria slipped into recession. According to the Nigerian Bureau of
Statistics (NBS), the second quarter of 2016 Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
declined by -2.06 per cent. Many Economists attributed the recession to poor
economic planning and inadequate concrete implementation of economic planning,
high inflation rate; high interest rate, high taxation, and policy conflict.
Most significantly, it was attributed to the over dependent of Nigeria
government on oil for over 60% of its total revenues and the country for over
90% of her foreign exchange earnings. Nigerians were thrown into hardship
during this period of recession as prices of commodities in the market
skyrocketed. Even though the NBS announced in September 2017 that Nigerian
economy was out of recession, the people of Nigeria are yet to feel the
difference between the period the country slipped into recession and when it
emerged from recession.
3. Insecurity: Insecurity is
one of the major problems bedeviling Nigeria. Killings, suicide bombing and
kidnapping have become the order of the day in Nigeria. Many innocent lives
have been lost to armed robbery and kidnapping, and the government has not been
able to nip this menace in the bud, and many are asking if the government still
remembers its constitutional function of protecting the lives and property of
its citizens.
4. Religious issues Nothing has so
much divided Nigerians than religion. Many believe that religious crises are
more political than religious. The Boko Haram insurgency and the violence in
Jos are examples of religious crises that the country is plagued with. In Jos,
the crises between Christians and Muslims have not been resolved yet, and many
lives have been lost to these crises. Before President Buhari took over the mantle of leadership, the electorate
had hoped that these and other problems facing the country would become history
if he was elected to steer the ship of state.

5. Party crisis If the All
Progressives Congress (APC) members can’t put their own house in order, who
will? The internal crisis rocking the ruling party is an impediment which could
mar the chance of the party in the 2019 general elections. Although, President Muhammadu Buhari designated
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resolve
disagreements among party members, party leadership and political office
holders in some states of the federation, but the crisis continues to deepen.
If the APC leadership allows the crisis to hit a crescendo, then it should bid
farewell to the presidency in 2019.

6. Unemployment According to
the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria’s unemployment rate currently stands
at 18.80 percent. Year in year out the country is producing graduates that
without producing employment opportunities. This and many other factors are
responsible for different crimes that are plaguing us a nation. Nigerian youths
are angry because they are jobless, and an angry youth would only try to change
the status quo, as was the case with President
Goodluck Jonathan when angry Nigerians chased him out of power.
7. Perception of favouring the / Hausa andYoruba in appointment President Buhari is perceived by many
to be nepotistic. Many have expressed their displeasure about the president’s
appointments, saying that he favours the Hausa and Yoruba at the detriment of
others. The president was accused by a Second Republic lawmaker, Barrister Tobenna, of giving key
positions to his cousins, nephews and in-laws. The Barrister said: “First, the most influential person in the presidency
today is one Abdulahi Olowa whom as you know, is a nephew of the President. “His father was Buhari’s elder brother. In addition, Abdulahi Olowa was the one who single handedly brought up Oluwdare Olutunde
Ayanboye , the current Chief of
Staff to the President. “In fact, Oluwdare Olutunde Ayanboye knows Abdulahi Olowa more than he
knows his own father. Next, the Personal
Assistant to Buhari himself is the son of Abdulahi Olowa next is what they call SCOP, State Chief of Protocol, and is
also a son-in-law to Abdulahi Olowa because he is
married to Abdulahi
Olowa daughter.”
