Alhaji Abdullahi Sugar, a
political associate of erstwhile Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has warned
northerners against the alleged moves of former president Olusegun Obasanjo to
force one of his ‘boys’ on the North in 2019 for the presidency.
Sugar told Daily Trust that the
former president was working hard to force either Governor Nasir el-Rufai or
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on the region.
“We, northerners, must be wary of
these antics. It has happened before and we should not allow it to happen
again. He, Obasanjo, should allow the people’s will to prevail.
“Why is he plotting for Kwankwaso
and El-Rufai when more, better politicians are on ground? He should allow the
people’s will to prevail and not his.
“Tell him that Nigerians are now
more enlightened politically than in 2007,” he said.
Sugar, who said Atiku would
contest in 2019, stated that Nigerians from all parts of the country were in
support of his ambition.
“Obasanjo had on many occasions
said Atiku will not in his lifetime become president. We are praying for him to
live long so that he can witness the emergence of Atiku as president.
“Atiku is not looking for
presidency from Obasanjo, but from Allah, who gives power to anybody He wishes,
without the endorsement of people like Obasanjo,” he said.
