The Kaduna State governor, Nasiru El-Rufai, has said that governors and ministers
under the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, are rooting for President
Muhammadu Buhari to contest the 2019 presidential election.
El-Rufai, who
made this known to the State House correspondents after a closed door meeting
with the President in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday, said the
governors and the ministers had resolved to draft the President into the race
as members of the “Buharist Group”.
The
“Buharist Group” is an association of APC governors and ministers, whose
primary aim is to promote and defend the perceived socio-political interests of
President Buhari.
On the debate
on restructuring the country, El-Rufai, who is leading the APC committee on
true federalism, said his committee would start public hearing on the matter
from September 18.
