Senator representing Bayelsa East senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Ben Bruce says he will fight President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
Speaking in an interview with Peace Hyde, the senator says he will fight Buhari in 2019 although the president currently retains his support.
“Buhari is the president today; he is my president. I must respect him regardless of what I feel. In 2019 we can fight but right now I want the economy to grow. If I take the position that I want to destroy APC and destroy Nigeria, will there be any Nigeria for me to fix in 2019?
“So it’s a dumb move to try to destroy your president or somebody you hate and destroy your country in the process. I’ll fight Buhari in 2019 but today he is my president; I will support him.”
He advised that a minister of common sense should be appointed to solve Nigeria’s many problems.
“A lot of people in government do dumb things. I’ve told successive presidents in this country to appoint a minister of common sense.
“The minister of common sense will not have a budget. All the minister would do is to think about Nigeria and find solutions to the problems of Nigeria without thinking about enriching himself.”
