A former governor of Niger state, Aliyu Babangida has predicted that President Muhammadu Buhari will lose in next month’s Presidential elections.

The Babangida made this statement in an interview with the Punch, explaining that most of the people who made his victory in 2015 possible are no longer around.

Babangida said: “What happened in 2015 is what  some people would  call a Northern revolution.

“We can also say that the PDP really gave Buhari and the APC the victory because if you recall, the G7 was made up of seven serving governors; five of them went to the APC and the current Senate President also went to the APC as well.

“That was what gave the APC victory and now, all of them that joined the party have all returned to the PDP. As far as am concerned, the APC has no chance in 2019 election because we in PDP  are not going to make that mistake again.”

The former governor also claimed that he’s privy to information of a plot by the ruling party to rig the election, but that his party has ways in which to counter this.

“We are not surprised by the intimidation and harassment which we are witnessing from the ruling party.” Babangida added.

“We have been telling our members that one needs not be afraid of a party that sees itself being defeated. We are also designing a counter-strategy to make sure that nobody is intimidated.

 

“Election is about people. It is about development and honesty and not about so called cult building around an individual. It is about number and since we have the number, they will not stop Nigerians from electing Atiku Abubakar as the next President.”
