Some traditional rulers across the country are promising to work for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the next elections in 2019

 

GARBA Tambari, the Emir of Maradun in Zamfara, has disclosed that some traditional rulers across the country had resolved to ensure the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election.

Tambari stated this when he fielded questions from newsmen after paying a condolence visit to Buhari in Daura, Katsina State, on Sunday, February 18.

According to the Emir, all citizens who wish Nigeria well must support the re-election of Buhari if he finally decides to seek renewal of his electoral mandate in 2019.

The president, who is on a five-day private visit to Daura, his home town, Daura, is yet to make any official pronouncement on whether he would seek re-election or not.

Nevertheless, Tambari said that the re-election of the president in 2019 would ensure continuity in governance as the Buhari administration had recorded remarkable successes in the areas of security and fighting corruption and revitalisation of the economy.

Tambari, who said he was in Daura on a solidarity visit to Buhari, lauded him for his selfless service to the country.

According to him, the president has promised to tackle the problem of insecurity in some parts of Zamfara.

On his part, the president Buhari also met with members of Katsina Citizens’ Forum at his private resident in Daura, Katsina State.

Speaking to newsmen on behalf of members of the forum after the closed door meeting, Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State said they were in Daura to condole with the Buhari over the death of his two relatives.

He said the forum would soon issue an advertorial on the letter written to the president by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
