These politicians ain't loyal...ah-ah! Can you imagine that another bone of contention for the APC power blocs is over who succeeds Buhari in 2019, when Buhari hasn't even stayed upto 100 days in office?
According to the SUN,the assumption that President Buhari would not go for another term is causing gladiators of the party to fight for the structure of the party. It says Tinubu and his men are working with Kaduna State Governor, Mallam El-Rufai, on the understanding that the latter will take over from President Buhari should the latter decide not to run in 2019. According to an APC source:
“Our national leader is working with the governor of Kaduna. He identifies him as a potential candidate in 2019. It is believed that el-Rufai is close to the President and is also popular in the North.”
He disclosed that some forces, like Atiku and former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso are fighting to take charge of the party. He added:
“Atiku is the main problem Tinubu has in APC. The assumption is that he has his eye on 2019 and some people want to stop him. The man himself is fighting back and wants to take charge of the party.”
He argued that what is happening in the party is normal, predicting that the situation will soon be taken care of when the government settles fully.
