Northern leaders score buhari low reject him for 2019
It appears you're referring to a news article or report from 2018. According to various sources, including Vanguard News and The Punch, some northern leaders in Nigeria expressed dissatisfaction with President Muhammadu Buhari's performance and rejected him as their preferred candidate for the 2019 presidential election.
The leaders, who were mainly from the All Progressives Congress (APC), felt that Buhari had not fulfilled his campaign promises, particularly in the areas of security, economy, and infrastructure development. They also criticized his handling of the country's security challenges, including the insurgency in the North East and the herdsmen-farmers clashes.
Some of the northern leaders who spoke out against Buhari included:
- Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, a former Governor of Borno State and a former National Chairman of the APC, who said that Buhari had failed to deliver on his promises and that the North would not support him in 2019.
- Senator Ahmed Zannah, a former Governor of Yobe State, who criticized Buhari's handling of the security situation in the North East and said that the region would not vote for him in 2019.
- Alhaji Ahmed Sani Yerima, a former Governor of Zamfara State, who said that Buhari had not done enough to address the security challenges in the North and that the region would not support him in 2019.
These criticisms were seen as a significant blow to Buhari's re-election bid, as the North is a crucial region in Nigerian politics. However, it's worth noting that not all northern leaders rejected Buhari, and some remained loyal to him and the APC.
It's also important to note that political opinions and alliances can change quickly, and the situation on the ground may have evolved since then. If you have any specific questions or would like more information on this topic, feel free to ask!
