Senator
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (APC, Representing Kano Central), has said that only God will determine
if President Muhammadu Buhari will contest a second term in 2019.
Speaking
to select journalists in Abuja yesterday, the former Kano State Governor,
insisted that despite Buhari’s health challenges, he could still seek
re-election.
He
said: “If he is going for second time, there is no problem because (the fact
that) somebody is in the hospital doesn’t mean somebody who is outside is
healthier than him. It is the decision of Allah and nobody can fault it.”
On
whether the National Assembly had powers to introduce new projects in budget,
Kwankwaso made it clear that the document must be scrutinized.
“The
National Assembly is not a photocopier. It needs to look at the figure and
issues. If you take the constituencies of the entire senators, they are equal
to that of the president and if you look at the entire federal constituencies
of Reps, they are equal to that of the president.
“So,
executive, legislature and even the judiciary must be together in the interest
of the country,” he said.
