Nigeria’s minister of petroleum resources, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu is very confident the president Muhammadu Buhari will win the presidential elections in 2019.

Kachikwu who was recently interviewed by CNN’s Richard Quest made the comment while fielding questions from the veteran journalist.

Quest asked, “Is it likely, that within another year your president or his party will be fighting in an election, and pretty much you are already in an election mode?”

Kachikwu responded, “Those of us in government are focused on getting work done; the president is probably going to win the election anyway.”

The minister finalized by stating that the Buhari led administration was taking realistic steps towards the diversification of the Nigerian economy, adding that Petroleum will play a strong role in getting the country out of recession.
