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
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.
