LAGOS: A pro-democracy group, the Northern Alternative Forum, NAF, has endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term ahead of 2019 polls, saying Buhari remains the most credible presidential candidate from the region.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the National Chairman of NAF, Mallam Gidado Ibrahim, said no amount of campaign of calumny against the President will deter Buhari from seeking for re-election to continue his quest to return the country to path of glory.
Mallam Ibrahim, who said there is no better candidate than President Muhammadu Buhari for now, advised some Northern elements searching for a replace-ment for Buhari from the region ahead of the 2019 polls, to dump the idea.
According to him, “after reviewing the outcome of meetings held recently by the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, and other interest groups in the North, we in Northern Alternative Forum have come to the conclusion that shopping for a credible presidential candidate other than President Muhammad Buhari will only come to a dead end.”
