He said: “I must say to all of you, that I believe in the youths of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I am happy to see you form an Association, called the Democratic Youth Congress, DYC.
“The country is passing through a crucial moment. There was a time, speculations were in the mind of some people that the President might not make it back, and it took people of an unusual faith at that time, to say Buhari will continue in 2019.
“I am a believer of Buhari. I made it clear years ago, that if President Muhammadu is running for President, I will not run.
“I am sure that my statement came as a shock to most Nigerians, that I have subsumed my President ambition to someone, and this is the first time I have taken such a step.
“There is no better time to have a President if not Buhari. I have seen Presidents, but I have not seen the President and Vice President that have worked as brothers as Buhari and Osinbajo.
“I have looked at the political situation, and I have done the political calculations, and found out that the best thing that can happen to Nigeria, is to allow Buhari complete his term.
“I did not step down for Buhari because of popularity, religiosity; I stepped down for whom he is. I want him to run and he will have my support.
“I want to also appeal to those who have Presidential ambition, to shelve this ambition. This because our nation is going through a challenging moment, and it requires a man of his calibre.
“I am very happy to announce that all the South East Governors are in support of President Muhammadu Buhari for President in 2019.
“We are having a situation in Nigeria where all the parties will present one candidate. All the South-East Governors are in support of Buhari. In the entire South-South same, also that of South-West, including all the Northern regions. The one or two persons will make up their minds in no distance time.
“If not for Buhari that made me to step down my ambition who else, because minus President Buhari, I can defeat any of them in the Presidential race. Again, I want people not to use the Anambra election to judge the support President Buhari.”
