A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Attahiru Bafarawa who is a former Sokoto State governor has expressed disappointment over comments made by the Kaduna State Governor Nasir El Rufa’ that there are no elders left in northern Nigeria.
Bafarawa described the comment which was attributed to the Governor as an affront to the North, adding that it was unpleasant for El-Rufai to categorise all as bad eggs, insisting that there were good ones.
The former governor was reacting to the Kaduna State governor’s comment in his interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation.
El-Rufai had alleged that there were some elements sabotaging their party, the All Progressives Congress, under the guise of new naira notes so that they won’t win the 2023 general elections.

‘He was insisting that Tinubu must win the election and that whether people like it or not, they have already won. Who told him that the whole of the North is supporting the APC?
‘This is just his opinion; in that case, he has no right to insist on the North because everybody has his candidate. The way he is campaigning for Tinubu is how we are campaigning for our candidate.
‘We will shock them, we will make them understand that this country belongs to nobody, likewise the North.’
In another development, the APC, Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has alleged that the so-called Aso Rock cabal wanted a pliable candidate and not a strong-willed and experienced member of the party to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, hence, the sabotage of the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu.
This was also as the campaign council described a recent presidential election poll results released by Nextier as a pretext to cause political crisis and riots in Nigeria after the February 25 presidential election.
However, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has also alleged that his main rival, Tinubu, would acquire federal government properties across the country if he got the country’s top job later this month.
