SAN FRANCISCO, August 13, (THEWILL) – The former governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, has blamed Nigerians for voting President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that as a soldier Buhari was trained to kill and not to govern.
Bafarawa made the statement in Lafia at the state secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while re-affirming his intention to contest the presidential seat under the platform of the PDP.
Bafarawa explained that he left the All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the injustice meted out to him by the party.
The former governor of Sokoto State, who blamed Nigerians for mistakenly voting president Buhari, said, “Buhari is a soldier trained to kill, but not to govern.
“Don’t vote somebody to power who does not possess democratic tenets to govern a country as Nigeria.”
Earlier, the state PDP Chairman, Francis Orogu, said the visit of the presidential aspirant was apt and timely.
Orogu described Nasarawa as a PDP state, stating that though the party was not in control, it was able to produce two senators and three House of Representatives members.
