‘No Nigerian president can succeed without Ndigbo’ – Presidential aspirant, Attahiru Bafarawa

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential aspirant, Attahiru Bafarawa has said that nobody can rule Nigeria without tapping the education and business ingenuity of Ndi Igbo.

Bafarawa, a two time governor of Sokoto State, made this known when Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi hosted him in Enugu on Tuesday. He was in Enugu to consult and intimate the party in the state about his intention to vie for the country’s president. “Ndi Igbo are partners in Nigeria unity, cohesion and political stability; nobody can govern the country without Ndi Igbo,’’ he declared.

He appealed to President Buhari to ensure that the 2019 general elections were free, fair and credible. Bafarawa said that Buhari had no alternative than to allow for credible poll in the forthcoming elections because “he is a beneficiary of free and fair poll in the country’’.
