What is Buhari's impact on the party? - More facts emerge after APC chairman suspension

More facts have emerged over what has led to the suspension of the Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Suleiman Adamu.

Recall, Mynigeria.com reported early this week that Adamu was suspended by the leadership of the party after a leaked audio of him saying he wished President Muhammadu Buhari had died of the novel coronavirus.

However, more details have emerged about that particular conversation.

Daily Post reports that Suleiman Adamu, who spoke in Fulfulde, said if he was asked to choose between Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo, he would rather go for Osinbajo.

Bindow, a businessman and chieftain in the state chaired the meeting, while those in attendance included immediate past Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Kabiru Mijinyawa who remains in the Assembly as the member representing the Yola South constituency.

In the recorded proceedings of the meeting, it was evident that Adamu’s comment against Buhari was made more as a side comment, clearly not meant for public consumption, except that someone who recorded it, chose to put it out in the social media where it went viral, reports Daily Post.

Suleiman said after a number of people had expressed frustration with some party bigwigs, “As for me, being a party administrator, even Buhari himself, what is his impact on the party? Of what value is he to us? How I wish he had contracted the deadly coronavirus, so that Osinbajo would take over.”

Another party faithful at the meeting reiterated that Buhari had better left the scene for the vice president, adding, “We sold our properties to help the president win the election… “Buhari has achieved nothing in Adamawa in the last six years. APC in Adamawa thrives on the legacies of Bindow.”
