Thieves have ganged up against President Muhammadu Buhari. Yesterday (Monday) they (PDP) went to Sokoto for a rally and brought in people from Niger Republic.
”This was to show that they have crowd because Sokoto people refused to attend.
“Our people should be assured that the very day Buhari will come to Kaduna, all our people that will receive him will be Kaduna indigenes and not people from Niger.
We will fight for every vote and persuade our people that you will only secure victory for the party you support when you vote on election day,” El-Rufai said.
