‘Forget 2019’ – Babangida’s ally, Umar Kama tells Atiku, Lamido, other presidential aspirants

A former military governor of Plateau State during the regime of
former military President Ibrahim Babangida, retired Major-General
Aliyu Adu Umar Kama, has called on those warming up to contest against
President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 to bury their ambition.

Apparently referring his kinsman and former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar, former Jigawa State governor Sule Lamido and erstwhile
deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu
among others, Kama said it would be unwise for anyone irrespective of
their inclinations to want to contest against President Buhari, who
had done tremendously well.

He was speaking Saturday in Abuja at the Hoba community grand
reception for the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF),
Mr Boss Gida Mustapha, by the Hoba elders' council.

According to Kama, "It would be foolhardy for anyone irrespective of
his/her political inclinations to want to contest against President
Buhari."

According to the former Milad, the Hoba people of Adamawa State are
grateful to President Buhari for appointing two sons of the community
as SGF successively and pledged continuous support for the Buhari
administration.
