The Presidency has revealed why foreigners attended the presidential rally of President Muhammadu Buhari in Kano State.

Mr Buhari while campaigning in the state on Thursday received two state governors from Niger Republic who came to identify with him despite his administration warning foreign countries against interfering in the internal affairs of the country as the forthcoming general election draws near.

Critics condemned the action as being hypocritical while the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), called for the disqualification of the president from the presidential race.

Defending the action of the foreigners, the presidency said the opposition parties were just been jealous of the Buhari phenomenon which it said was sweeping across the African continent.

It said the visitors came to learn and understand how the president does his own politics.

“What we want the PDP to know, there is a Buhari phenomenon that is sweeping across the entire continent. Candidates for national leadership in each country are doing whatever they can to understand the Buhari phenomenon, to copy it, to institute it,” Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said in a statement on Saturday.

“That’s why people from the African continent…when they had the presidential election in Ghana, there was a candidate who branded himself the Buhari of Ghana.

“When they had the presidential election in Chad last year, there was a Buhari of Chad. They had printed posters with their pictures with Buhari side by side.

“So, Nigeria has been gifted with an honest leader, a man endowed with rare qualities and people are trying to copy that.

“So, if our neighbours from Niger come to witness how President Buhari is doing his politics, what is the problem with that? Is there any law that is broken? Or did they see anyone that will buy vote or collect PVC?

“So, it’s jealousy. They are panicky and jealous. It should worry PDP that nobody is coming across the border to understudy PDP,” he said.

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the ruling party has said there was no crime committed in allowing foreigners participate in political campaigns in the country.

PDP is already bereaved. The 3.1m votes from Kano will be like..... .

Just imagine what presidency is spewing , so they came with thousands of their supporters and the adorned APC clothes so they could learn how Buhari plays his own politics of Nepotism and bigotry... Well Nigerians compare please while Developed Nations have a preference for Atiku , Buhari is being supported by poverty legends like Niger Republic no wonder Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world .

IDIOTIC RESPONSE

But foreigners endorsing Atiku is interference baa?

God who did we offend?

See what PDP has degenerated to..... Jealousy party of southeasterners

Mtcheeew. Why would anyone waste his time to respond to PDP? Since when has attendance of a political rally turned to interfering with the internal issues of a country? Did the governors attend the rally as a delegation from the Nigerien govt or they attended in their own capacity as friends of Buhari? Anyone comparing this to the warning to the US, UK and other imperialist is a dunce..... As for PDP, you will soon ask INEC to disqualify Buhari because his wife doesn't move with his campaign trail...... Rubbish set of jokers.

SMH...Imagine such response.

The presidency is populated by dimwits.
