A socio-cultural group, Arewa Youth Integrity Forum has raised the alarm over plans by a cabal within the All Progressives Congress to short-change the northern geo-political zone for another eight years by planting General Muhammadu Buhari who has been considered weak and running out of age to pilot the affairs of the nation.
The group alleged that the calculation is to pave way for Pastor Osibanjo who is much younger, active and belongs to the cabal to take over power thereby making it possible for power to return to the South again for another eight years.
Coordinator of the group, Hamid Usman in a media chat in Abuja frowned at the new plot as a-fallout of series of meetings between a former President and some powerful forces in the APC and has already started playing it out to demonstrate their disdain for the north and its people.
Stressing further, Usman insisted that it has become very obvious that those who abandoned very energetic young aspirants like Kwankwaso and Nda Isaiah or even a more connected Atiku Abubakar are out to repeat the wicked selection of an ailing Governor in 2007 knowing full well that age and health are very important in the discharge of national duties.
According to Usman, “Buhari has been surrounded by hawks and caged into dungeon that nothing good will come back to the north in the next eight years owing to recent activities in the APC, manifesting that the man cannot call the shots by himself if elected as President.”
“In the first place they went for a candidate who claimed that he couldn’t afford his nomination form yet he is still their choice because he has nostamina of himself which is a better deal to finance
him to power and easily push him out barely 6 months into the tenure which is worse than what happened to Yar’Adua,” he added.
