A Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Attahiru Bafarawa, has claimed that he didn’t receive any salary for eight years as Sokoto State governor.

He also declared that giving power to President Mohammadu was the worst mistake Nigerians ever made.

Bafarawa made this known while addressing the governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi and PDP delegates at the state executive chambers, Government House, Abakaliki.

He noted that Buhari, as a trained military man can never get it right as expected by Nigerians, instead he will be doing the opposite.

His words, “The captain of this nation today is a trained military man, he is complete opposite.

“To give a military man leadership of the country of over 200million people and you expect him to do well, he will never get it right because that is not his training.

“I believe that you have received a lot of aspirants who are aspiring to get PDP ticket. We are all qualified to be presidential flag bearer of our great party and whoever that gets the ticket, myself as a democratic is ready to support the person in order to move this country forward. But we need you to crosscheck all of us before taking final decision.

“I have joined politics to serve, not to make money. When I was a governor for my eight years, I didn’t receive salary. I donated the salary to Dan Fodio to be repairing hearts.

The presidential aspirant noted that he has the interest of Igbo’s and will like them to lead the nation.

“I have the interest of the Igbos to lead this country. I met President Shehu Shagari and told him ‘you know there is an agreement between you and the Igbos.

In a swift reaction, governor Umahi revealed the preparedness of the south east governors to work together and take a stand on who to support in the forthcoming elections.

“About 14 of you who are presidential Aspirants under the PDP are very wonderful materials. And it is a very wonderful thing because each and everyone of you is eminently qualified

“The Southeast as a region are going to work together especially the PDP states. We are also going to talk together and we must take a position. We must take a position in the sense that we need to bond together.”

“We need to agree and tell whoever is going to be our next President, this is how you are going to govern us. This is how we will like you to remember us and this is how we want you to carry us along” he stated.
