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.
Salihu Yakasai, media
aide to Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, said this on his Twitter handle
beneath a photo of the governors and Ganduje.
But the Peoples
Democratic Party has berated Buhari and the All Progressives Congress over the
presence of two governors from the Republic of Niger at the presidential rally
of the APC in Kano.
The PDP accused
Buhari of mortgaging the future of Nigeria.
He alleged that the
President and his party, the APC, would also import voters from neighbouring
countries for the February 16 Presidential election.
The National Chairman of
the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, who spoke with one of our correspondents, called
the attention of the international community to the alleged plan by the ruling
party.
Elections, he said, were
internal affairs of Nigerians, wondering why the two foreign governors would be
in Kano to welcome the President to his own country.
He said the presence of
the two foreign governors had also vindicated the PDP’s claim that President
Buhari and his party had been importing foreigners to attend the APC rallies.
