AS a signal of the opposition that former Head of State, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhaari, is currently facing within the All Progressives Congress (APC), posters announcing his 2015 presidential bid, which were earlier pasted on walls and other strategic places in the ancient city of Kano, have been removed by unknown people.

A reliable source told Sunday Tribune that most of the powerful politicians in the APC did not favour Buhari’s bid to be the standard-bearer of the party in the 2015 presidential election.

According to the source, the inner circle members of the party were of the view that General Buhari is not only too old for the job, he is also not a sellable material, having contested the presidential race and lost on three different occasions.

It was their view that the same antecedents and antics that worked against him in 2003, 2007 and 2011 were still in the minds of the electorate, who, the source said, were spread across the northern parts of the country.

It was also stated that the crisis that erupted after the presidential election in 2011 in which many youths lost their lives may work against him and this may work have negative impact on the party.

It was also stated by the source that most of well-to-do and heavy weight politicians in the party may not with to deploy their financial war chest to help the APC in prosecuting the election.

Notable personalities Kano State governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the speaker of the House of the Representatives, Honourable Aminu Tambuwal are believed to have interest in contesting the presidential election, and may not throw their weight behind Buhari’s presidential candidature.

Already, former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has declared his intention to take another shot at the exalted position.

It was said that series of underground meetings were had been held on how to convince General Buhari to step down and endorse one aspirant among Atiku, Tambuwal and Kwankwaso.

Said the source: “If he is adamant on contesting the presidential primary, the members will let him do so, but they may work against him at the APC presidential primary.

“In the end, Buhari may resolve to pull out of the APC and to contest the presidential election on the platform of another party ,as he did during the 2011 presidential election build-up, when he pulled out from the defunct All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) and hurriedly formed the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) after being tactically edged out by the former presidential candidate of the defunct ANPP, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau.

“A political pandora’s box will unfold from this month, but take it or leave it, Buhari will not get the ticket of the APC for the 2015 presidential election, and this will probably force his exit from the party.”

This, the source said, might cause crisis within the party and lead to mass exodus of highly notable members of the party and eventually affect the chance of the party at the polls.

This, he said, could pave the way for an easy ride by President Goodluck Jonathan in his effort to secure a second term of office.

Coming from Tribune and the two clowns who posted before me, the "source" might just be an ugly teenager with a Tecno phone and MTN 10MB free data. Everyone in the Presidency knows that even if APC presents a puppy to contest against Jonathan, he would be beaten.

2015, and the big-nosed drunkard in Aso Rock would be beaten like a drum.

PDP fabricating News like popcorn. It is the PDP that is intensifying efforts against Buhari. The nest of killers are just afraid of going to jail and having all their loots confiscated.

Sadly their hungry agents are all over the place screaming as if their Breakfast depends on it.

I don't have time for long epistle this morning jare

Why not give a young goon like Fashola or Oshioms the chance. The bane of Nigerian politics has always been greed.

Surely they shall gather and if their gathering is not of God they shall scather.

ok election palava again.

Buhari would certainly face stiff competition within his party as the Presidential race gears up. But am positive he will prevail as the sole candidate of APC in the end.
Let the drama begin.
