From this “government media” Vanguard publication, we could not help but notice a very important truth about General Buhari’s candidacy.
The article argued that the northern elite abandoned Buhari. If this is true then indeed Buhari is the man the masses need for Nigeria. he answers all equations. For those afraid of northern elite grip on power, Buhari is the antithesis of that. Rejected by the northern elite, he is a favorite of the disenfranchised masses. Indeed the elite who embezzled Nigeria’s wealth should not like Buhari. We see many of these elite powerfully beside Jonathan, Babangida and co are his bed buddies, This says a lot.
Here is a clip from the article by Ochereome Nnanna
Missing northern political elite
Surprisingly, the political elite of Northern Nigeria in the APC quietly withdrew from his side. You name them: Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, Mr. Nda Isaiah, the three others who vied for the ticket with Buhari; northern governors on the APC platform, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ahaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who was briefly favoured by Tinubu until he withdrew in favour of the governorship seat of Sokoto State and top figures in the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) such as Professor Ango Abdullahi and Dr. Junaidu Mohammed, who openly declared that Buhari was the candidate of the North after he emerged. The only person from the North who is regularly seen with Buhari is the **** man from Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el Rufai.
