‘Northern leaders begged Tinubu to support Buhari, promised to return power after eight years’ – APC chieftain.
By Muhammad Inuwa, Dutse A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former House of Representative member representing Birnin-Kudu/ Buji in Jigawa State, Engr.
Magaji Da’u Aliyu, has claimed that Northern political leaders begged President Bola Tinubu to support former President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential ambition and promised to return power to his side after eight years.
Aliyu, who is also the Deputy Campaign Director of the North for Tinubu Support Group, disclosed this while addressing supporters in Birnin Kudu.
He said the North has no justification for opposing Tinubu’s re-election in the 2027 general election, insisting that the region must honour the political agreement allegedly reached before Buhari became president in 2015. According to him, Buhari had contested the presidential election three times without success before Northern political leaders approached Tinubu in Lagos to seek his support. ”Buhari contested the presidential election three times and lost. We then went to Lagos to beg Tinubu to support Buhari’s presidential ambition,” he said.
