President Muhammadu Buhari has not pronounced enthusiasm for running for the 2019 on the grounds that his rivals would utilize it to undermine his endeavors, says the administration.

This was contained in an announcement by the Femi Adesina, media associate to Buhari, discharged on Sunday.

"You know the idiosyncrasy of Nigeria especially now. On the off chance that the president talks too soon, it's an issue. There is a considerable measure of treachery in the nation," the announcement included. "You have additionally heard such a large number of have said 'don't run.' Because they realize that if the president runs, others individuals should simply run a way since they don't have the foggiest possibility in damnation to beat him. Thus, they need to demoralize him from running."

Furthermore, it included that, "Now, on the off chance that he lets you know 'I will run,' and decisions are as yet one year away, it gives them one year to disrupt the whole nation from all fronts – politically, socially, financially – they would toss everything at him just to deter him from running.

"Things being what they are, the point at which you realize that, why at that point do you talk early? I think it bodes well for you at that point to keep things hidden from plain view till it is the ideal opportunity for you to then say, 'alright, I'm running' by which time they can do less harm."
