‘900 groups’ endorse Buhari for second term

Although he is yet to spend half of his four-year term as head of the country, over 900 groups are seeking the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Saadatu Babaji, founder of a group known as 4 plus 4 for Buhari and Ganduje, disclosed this on Thursday.

Babaji said the groups were also strategising  that the tenure of Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano state, goes beyond 2019.

She said arrangements were in place to launch the reelection bid of both men across the country in the coming year.

Although Buhari and Ganduje have not made public declarations on reelection, Babaji said series of meetings were ongoing to project the cause.

“We have 900 groups across the 36 states, and we have spread across all the 774 local government areas,” she said.

“With this kind of number, it is an indication that President Muhammadu Buhari is well accepted to continue in office in 2019 elections.”
