The campaign posters of the ex-Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babagana Kingibe, for 2019 Presidency,
flooded the cities of Abuja and Lagos.
This has resulted in panic within the
president’s camp and reports have it that President Muhammadu Buhari has
received the information with shock.
This came barely few
days after former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, called on President Muhammadu
Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019.
Sources said that
Buhari could not fathom why Kingibe his close ally has the intention to
possibly run against him in 2019.
Post-Nigeria recalls
that the campaign posters emerged amidst growing concerns over Buhari’s
re-election bid.
In Abuja, the posters
were seen at some major spots, including the Federal Secretariat with the
inscription, “Sai Baba for President 2019.”
Also in Lagos, they
were cited in the Ikeja area around the State Secretariat in Alausa, Agidingbi
and Acme roads as well as other major points of attraction.
Recall
that the “Sai Baba” slogan was used by Buhari in 2015.
The phrase was also used in 1993
during the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Presidential primary.
