With just one year and seven months into the four years term of the administration of president Muhammdu Buhari which will terminate in 2019, presidency has given sure indication that the president would seek a second term in office.

It also vehemently dismissed comments that it would be a lonely walk for the president, a development expected to serve as a punishment for perceived bad governance.

The refutation was a sharp reply to a statement credited a former member of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Alhaji Buba Galadima that the people of Nigeria would abandon Buhari should he choose to seek re-election. In a strong worded statement last night, the presidency through the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu stated that the “suggestions that the masses will desert President Buhari in 2019 as unfounded and utterly ridiculous”.

Shehu asserted that “ordinary Nigerians are the backbone of his mandate and the only reason he ran for the office is to protect them against the rapacious merchants of corruption, who have held Nigeria back for decades”, saying that ” Galadima’s calculation and prediction is utterly confused and misleading.”

According to the presidential spokesman “the masses are solidly behind Buhari because he is not stealing their money and their future. President’s enormous goodwill remains ever strong because the people are convinced the President is acting in their best interest, despite the temporary unintended consequences of reforms.”

Grazing Bill Implies Preferential Treatment For Herders– Anglican Bishop

Cattle breeding is a private business of the Fulani man, therefore, giving cattle breeding preferential treatment will not be fair to  Nigerians, the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Kaduna, RT. Reverend Timothy Yahaya has said.
He said  passing a grazing reserve bill will only mean that some people and their businesses are more important than others.

The bishop made the remarks while delivering his presidential address at the 2nd session of the 20th Synod in Kaduna, saying no laws in Nigeria should be passed to protect a particular tribe and its business. He stressed  that all laws must be seen to be fair to all.
“The question at this point is why is the Petroleum Bill still hanging in spite of the fact that the oil sector is the backbone of our economy? The Petroleum Industry Bill will help our economy greatly and it should be given the attention it deserves,” he said.
He suggested to the federal and state governments to advise the Fulani herders to create ranches. “Also, government could go to the localities to create ranches and rent them out to the herdsmen,” he said, adding that all over the world, “ranches are the best and civilized way of keeping cattle.”
