The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) does not have a presidential candidate for the 2019 election, Femi Adesina, special adviser on media and publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari has stated.
In an interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show, Adesina however said Buhari was not giving any definite sign that he will not seek reelection come 2019.
He added that the APC could not give automatic ticket to any candidate as that would be undemocratic.
Asked if Buhari was healthy enough to go through the rigours of campaign in the event that he chooses to contest, Adesina said the president’s health is a miracle and phenomenal.
“As the local saying goes, you don’t shave a man’s head in his absence and nobody can decide for the president. He is the one who can decide for himself,” Adesina said.

“So far, we don’t have a candidate for 2019.
“In democracy, you don’t really talk of automatic ticket. In a true democracy, contest for any position should be open but there is no indication now that the president is going to throw his heart into the ring.
