An alleged report reaching Post-Nigeria, revealed that at least three Governors from the North-West geo-political zone, in collaboration with the All Progressives Congress National Leader, Bola Tinubu, are hatching a secret plot to scheme President Muhammadu Buhari, out of 2019.
Recall, that Tinubu had recently dropped a hint that he should not be completely ruled out from the 2019 Presidential race.
Though, Buhari has not openly made his second term bid known, his Associates have hinted that some political gladiators, including three serving Governors, want to succeed him, in 2019.
Interestingly, all the serving Governors identified so far are from the same North-West zone, where Buhari hails from. They also belong to the same political party, the APC.
They are: Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna, Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto, and Abubakar Yari of Zamfara; and Senator Abu Ibrahim, from Kastina.
Yari, already heads an influential pressure group comprising his colleagues. Even more, insiders said his 2019 ambition is an open secret among his Associates. His ambition is however, viewed as shocking, since he has not recorded any achievement even as a Governor, as noted by one of his closest watcher..
El-Rufai, on the other hand, allegedly used his closeness to the General to his advantage, as he dislodged the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which at that time had a sitting Vice President.
