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.”

See as them don re-mix am?
ReplyDeleteWas the comment about 2019 and his health or about the personality of Naija president. This people no dey understand Oyinbo o.
Has he confirmed Trump really said this? Cos I know if it's not true then Trump will definitely give them what they're looking for. Dem don go find trouble.
DeleteThat was Trump's observations when Buhari visited.
DeleteSo it was true Trump really said that to warrant this response. I think it was so insensitive comment to make on a follow President like him if you ask me. Whoever made this get to the media I wonder what they stand to gain from it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a national insult not just on the president alone but to our collective being as a people. If Nigeria were to be independent in production and never a dependant on foreign aid most times, I think they would have quickly demand an apology from the president of United State but I am afraid that may not be possible.
You've gotten a new fan Teejay, I respect the new objective you, keep it up.

ReplyDeleteI can not say for sure who the bigger fools are; Buhari's supporters or his media team.. I can say for sure that his media team will put up a very daft reply.
ReplyDeleteBut would trump disrespect a Nigerian president naaa...
ReplyDeleteI trust una, na this kind one una dey quick respond to. Mtcheeeeew
ReplyDeleteWhen he was in Washington Kiki kikikikiing with that orangutan did he think he had arrived? He does look like a rack of bones in his clothes and could give the impression of lifelessness. His best days are behind him and even when I look at his photos from decades ago he was not a rosy and vibrant looking person.
ReplyDeleteTrump has a potty mouth. Dude talks before he thinks.
ReplyDeleteMost people think before they speak. Still all good though. Life goes on. Let him continue.
Why the media response? Donald Trump is not far from the truth. Buhari is lifeless and he has made Nigeria lifeless. He should do and leave. A grandfather should be resting and playing with his grand children not ruling a gaint country like Nigeria. Why did we even gain Independence? Nigeria would have been a developed country with all our gifted natural resources.
