In confirmation to the prediction made by the governor of Ekiti state, that Buhari would use the $1 billion for his re-election bid. As earlier reported, Fayose had argued that the $1 billion was a proposal targeted towards the reelection of Buhari. To prove it, the Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election team swung into action as soon as they smelled the release of $1 billion by their man in Aso Rock.
It was reported in Abuja that a team that identified themselves as pro-democracy group, the Northern Alternative Forum, NAF, has endorsed the second term bid of President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of 2019 general polls, saying Buhari remains the credible presidential candidate from the region for now.
In another way of pointing to the world where the $1 billion would be used, the group announced it is forming an alliance with other 15 groups with a view to engaging the services of two ICT professionals from Germany and Switzerland to execute the 2019 campaign for the Buhari/Osinbajo re-election bid.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the National Chairman of NAF, Mallam Gidado Ibrahim, said no amount of campaign of calumny against the President that would deter him from seeking for re-election to continue his quest to return the country to path of glory.
Intoxicated by the smell of the money, Mallam Ibrahim said, there is no better candidate than President Muhammadu Buhari for now, however, advised some Northern elements searching for a replacement for Buhari from the region ahead of the 2019 general polls, to dump the ideas.
He said recent moves by the elders and stakeholders in the North to get a consensus credible presidential candidate from the zone other than Buhari, would amount to wild a goose chase.
Recall some elders converged in Abuja penultimate Saturday where they had said President Buhari and late President Umaru Yar’Adua, both from the North, were not chosen by Northerners but were rather foisted on the North and the country in general by some political forces.
