Pressure on aspirants to step down for Aisha Buhari’s brother

As part of ongoing deal for a soft landing for Dr. Mahmood Halilu Ahmed, brother to President Buhari’s wife, Aisha, there is pressure on five aspirants to step down for him in Adamawa Central Senatorial District race.

Ahmed is already vying for governorship ticket with Governor Jibrilla Bindow.

But following signals that the governor might be difficult to defeat, a Plan B was being perfected last night.

It was gathered that representations have been made to the National Headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to humiliate the First Lady and her brother.
