2015: Buhari’ll declare ambition soon, says ex-minister
A former Petroleum Resources Minister Umaru Dembo has said former Head of State and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) General Muhammadu Buhari will declare for next year’s presidential race when he returns from his overseas trip.
The former minister dispelled the rumour that Gen. Buhari would not contest the 2015 election but would approve Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for the ticket.
Dembo spoke yesterday in Kaduna at the inauguration of the Isa Ashiru Campaign Team.
The former minister said other presidential aspirants were free to join the race for the APC ticket, adding that whoever emerges winner would be supported by party members.
It was learnt that there had been speculations that Gen. Buhari would leave the ticket for Kwankwaso because he would not contest again, having done so in three previous elections.
Also, the Director-General of the Ashiru Campaign Organisation, Ambassador Sule Buba, has said more Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members would defect to APC in Kaduna State.
But he did not give a specific date this would happen, though he said the defection would be at the right time to “bury the PDP”.
Buba said the success of the PDP in the previous elections rested on southern Kaduna, which gave the party block votes.
