Why Buhari will lose re-election bid – Ex-Gov Aliyu

A former Niger State governor, Babangida Aliyu, has said President Muhammadu Buhari will lose the 2019 presidential election.

He said critical stakeholders who contributed to the President’s electoral victory in 2015 had all deserted the ruling party.

Aliyu said this in an interview with The PUNCH correspondent during a peace meeting which his reconciliatory committee had with Plateau Peoples Democratic Party leaders in Jos, the state capital, at the weekend.

He said, “What happened in 2015 is what some people would call a Northern revolution.

“We can also say that the PDP really gave Buhari and the APC the victory because if you recall, the G7 was made up of seven serving governors; five of them went to the APC and the current Senate President also went to the APC as well”.
