The Senior Special Assistant to
President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Investment, Ismail Ahmad, has vowed that
the President will get 15 million votes in the North West in 2019.
Ahmad made the remark during a
meeting of Women and youth leaders under the platform of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, from the North Western states in Kaduna, over the weekend.
He stated that Buhari enjoys
massive support in the Northern part of the country.
According to the Presidential
aide, “We have a lot of work to do, but we have a lot of opportunities to
explore. As at January this year, there were 18.5 million registered voters in
the north west zone and there was opening again within the year, where we had
encouraged more people to register and a lot of people were encouraged to
collect their PVC as well, so the registered voters should be in the region of
20 million by now.
“We are going down to all the
wards, all the local government areas in all the seven states of the North West
to mobilize for the people. Remember that in 2015, with the exception of
Senator Danjuma Laah of Kaduna South, all the senators of The North West zone
we have, were APC. All the governors of the North West for the first time since
1999 were APC, until recently when we had the defection of the Sokoto State
Governor.
“Our plan is to ensure that the
party maintains that 2015 success and reclaim Sokoto State as well as all our
legislative seats both at the national and state levels.
“It is going to be a lot of work,
what I have called on my colleagues at the north west level to do is not going
to be easy, it is not going to be a tea party.
“We are aware that the contest is
between two northerners, but we will do our home work well. Again, we know
people appreciate performance that is glaring and the president has performed
way above expectation in terms of real things on the ground, not just
semantics.
“This government has done a lot
of work, but it doesn’t have many people speaking for it
“So, we know in reality we cannot
get hundred percent votes from the North West, but in 2015, north west alone
delivered over eight million votes to the APC, this time, we will work hard and
ensure that we deliver 15 million votes to President Muhammadu Buhari from the
North West alone.”

It can not be except by rigging. The Northerners are more interested in bringing in ATIKU as they had suffered note under BUHARI than in any other past president.
