2019 Presidency: Northern Govs, Others Scheme For Buhari’s Seat

Political gladiators in the northern part of the country are warming their political machines in preparation for the 2019 election.
They have, therefore, lined up some prominent political actors for the 2019 presidency.

New Telegraph gathered that while some (within the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC) are banking their preparations on the possibility that President Muhammadu Buhari may not run for a second term, others within the ruling party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are hoping that with the performance of the APC-led Federal Government going into two years, the Buhari myth that shocked the whole country in the 2015 general elections might not count in 2019.

There is the belief that with the economic downturn, which has brought hunger, hardship and uncertainties across the country, the president would need a miracle in the last two years of his first term to earn a second term.
It was gathered that within the APC, three governors from the North- West are currently working underground to ensure that they get the ticket of the party.
