April polls: IBB’s supporters declare support for Buhari

Supporters of former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, have declared their intention to vote for the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, during the forthcoming April presidential election.

The supporters, under the aegis of Joint IBB Support Group,told newsmen in Kaduna through their leader, Kasim Idris Dodo, that since Babangida was no longer in the presidential race, they were now behind Buhari and would work for his success during the presidential election.

They said considering the fact that their trusted candidate, Babangida, was no longer in the race, they had resolved to support Buhari in the April presidential election.

“The decision of the group to support Buhari was taken after a wide range of consultations with Babangida and other stakeholders in the IBB campaign organisation.

“This decision came following series of dialogues and wider consultation both with IBB and his campaign organisation. It was unanimously resolved that we gather and publicly declare our support for General Buhari.”

The group believed that Buhari was the only credible, honest and patriotic candidate that can transform Nigeria by tackling the myriads of problems that have retarded the development of the country.
