Dr Orji Kalu, said on Saturday that President Muhammadu Buhari might not be interested in getting an automatic ticket to re -contest.
“Buhari himself is not even looking for automatic ticket.
“He is a man that is very fair and free in what he does.
“And his feeling is that if any candidate is willing to contest against him, he should come out.
“So President Buhari is also feeling that an automatic ticket for him is not right.
“He believes that the political space should be opened up for other people who also want to contest and he wants an open primary (elections) to take place,” he said.
“I have said it times without number, that the president needs to consolidate on his achievements because he is very popular.
“He is still the only person carrying 15 million votes in his back despite his tenure being besieged by illness.
“So the president genuinely deserves a second tenure,’’ Kalu said.
