An All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Ibrahim Ali Ningi has
stated that most of the governors elected under the party's platform
and have second term ambition will lose their seats in the 2019
elections for working against President Muhammadu Buhari.
He stated that this political permutation will apply to both federal
and states legislatures in the country.
Ningi made this known to us in an exclusive interview in Bauchi,
stressing that there was no room for enemies of democracy to win
elections in 2019.
He explained that this followed alleged plots by APC governors and the
lawmakers to take the party structures from President Muhammadu Buhari
during the recently-concluded APC congresses across the country.
"Let me tell you categorically that APC governors and lawmakers'
decision to have hijacked the party's recent Congresses is a pointer
that they want to unseat President Buhari towards the 2019 elections.
However most of them will lose their second term bid, because they won
2015 elections through Buhari's popularity," Ningi said.
Ningi attributed problems in the party's congresses to governors'
conspiracy against Buhari and blamed National Assembly members for
deliberately refusing to cooperate with the President over the 2018
Budget.
He alleged that the National Assembly members are by-products of
corruption and were bent on frustrating the signing of the 2018 budget
so to scuttle Buhari's positive vision for Nigerians.
"Most of them rode on his political popularity to win 2015 elections
despite that they are corrupt and I assure you that Nigerians will not
vote for corrupt politicians in future," he added.
The APC stalwart maintained that the success of the party's national
convention in Abuja has vindicated Buhari, as against the failed
congresses in some states where governors smuggled in their loyalists
as executives.
He however assured that the President will win his second term bid on
the strength of the successes recorded by the APC administration.
