Some support groups working for the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari’s have shifted their loyalty to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The groups took the decision because Buhari has failed and continued to fail the youth in appointments.
Speaking at a ceremony in Abuja on Monday night, Yusuf Ardo, the National Coordinator, Grassroots Mobilisers for Buhari, accused the Buhari Administration of failing to appoint youths into his government.
He noted that the nation’s economy, which was rated as the fastest growing economy in Africa, had become comatose under the Buhari government, stressing that the administration had shown that it was clueless.
Ardo said, “Today, our country is faced with legions of challenges, our economy that was the fastest growing in Africa has become comatose under the present government which has shown that it was unprepared and completely clueless. We believe under Atiku, our economy will be revived and returned to the path of progress.”
The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Nathaniel Isah, criticized the Tradermoni programme of the FG, stating that it was a scheme to influence voters.
Also speaking, the Coordinator, Legend Youth Mobilisers, Abdulazeez Zubair, stated that the hardship in the country informed their decision to withdraw support for Buhari.
“I am a student of Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano, things are very tight in the country. My father could no longer support my education on account of the economic downturn in the country. We decided to support Atiku because we believe he can do better,” he stated.
