President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed why foreign personalities from Niger Republic were on ground during an APC mega rally in Kano, which held on Thursday January 21, 2019.

In a statement via his the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Bashir Ahmed, the president claimed the two Nigerien governors were in Kano to understudy his leadership style.

As you may know, Governor Issa Moussa of Zinder and Maradi State Governor, Zakiri Umar, both from the Republic of Niger, were on Thursday in Kano to rally support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election.

The statement read:

“Nigeria has been gifted with an honest leader, a man endowed with rare qualities and people are trying to copy that.

“If our neighbours from Niger come to witness how President Buhari is doing his politics, what is the problem with that? Is there any law that is broken? Or did they see anyone that will buy vote or collect PVC?

“What we want PDP to know, there is a Buhari phenomenon that is sweeping across the entire continent. Candidates for national leadership in each country are doing whatever they can to understand the Buhari phenomenon, to copy it, to institute it.

“That’s why people from the African continent…when they had the presidential election in Ghana, there was a candidate who branded himself the Buhari of Ghana.

“When they had the presidential election in Chad last year, there was a Buhari of Chad. They had printed posters with their pictures with Buhari side by side.

“So, it’s jealousy. They are panicky and jealous. It should worry PDP that nobody is coming across the border to understudy PDP.”

The unannounced presence of the foreign personalities has stirred criticisms from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who claim that President Buhari is mortgaging the future of Nigeria.
