Atiku Abubakar , Top Northern leaders have dumped Buhari - Fayose

 

Governor of Ekiti state, Mr. Ayo Fayose, has said that former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, along with top Northern leaders have withdrawn their support for APC presidential candidate General Muhammadu Buhari.
He said this in a statement which  was  released by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday.Read it below :

    “We thank the APC for conceding defeat in the coming elections. At east, they, for the first time, appear realistic. Buhari’s insistence that he must be allowed to attend to his health is commendable.It is glaring that he needs to rest and not waste energy on a failed project. The man has been abandoned by those who claim to be his backers and Buhari’s people have told him the bitter truth. That they would prefer to wait for another four years than to get trapped by some selfish South-west leaders for eight years.


“The preoccupation of the APC now is how to retain the APC- controlled states and prevent the PDP from capturing them.

“The tactical withdrawal of people like Atiku, Kwakwanso and the battle for survival by Tinubu and Amaechi in Lagos and Rivers have woken up Buhari to the politics of deceit that some are luring him to.

“While PDP leaders are confidently traversing the country meeting Nigerians and getting their support, APC leaders are held up in their hideouts. Who among them is canvassing support for Buhari now?

“Tinubu, for instance, is only pre-occupied with his aim of maintaining his stranglehold on Lagos’ resources by putting another stooge in the Government House, Ikeja, but this time around, he has failed woefully.”
