A leader of the Nigeria
Intervention Movement, NIM, Chief Olisa Agbakoba, has said that the position of
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai on President Muhammadu Buhari was not
correct.
During an interview on Channels
Television at the weekend, the governor had said that Buhari remained the
number one choice for Nigeria.
But reacting to this, Agbakoba
said “Of course, that is not correct.”
He said only Nigerians could
decide that and not El-Rufai.
“As you know, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo has said that he (Buhari) should not run but I think the real question
is: if he (Buhari) decides to run, will the voters accept to vote him in?
“It is only the voters that can
answer that question, not el-Rufai, not APC, not Obasanjo, not even me,” he
said.
Another leader of the NIM and a
civil society activist, Kayode Salako noted that the “APC is his party, he has
not told us that he is going to another party yet, so he has only spoken like a
good ambassador of the government of which he is a prominent member.
“In my own opinion, Nigeria has
another option, Buhari is not the only option.
“Telling us that Buhari is the
only option that Nigeria has in 2019 is an insult to the consciousness of
people like us who also feel that we are qualified and credible enough to lead
Nigeria.
“There are millions of people out
there who can do it better than Buhari. So, for him to say that there is no
alternative, he has only spoken according to his own opinion.”
