Fulani youths promise Buhari 11 million votes

The Fulani Youths Association of Nigeria (Jonde Jam) has promised to deliver 11 million  votes to President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress in  the February 16  presidential poll.


The organisation, according to a statement, made the promise in  Abuja when their national executive committee paid a visit to the national headquarters of the APC Women and Youth Presidential Campaign Team headed by Aisha Buhari.

The youths were received by the Chairman of the Central Working Committee of the campaign team, Buba Marwa.

While justifying their support for Buhari, the  National President of Jonde Jam, Alhaji Maikano Abdullahi, said their decision to back the President for a second term was based on his antecedents and integrity.

He said, “We realised that two Fulani men  are running in the presidential election, but in our deliberations, we found President Buhari to be more suitable and qualified. He is a leader with no foreign account,  he has been governor and oil minister but has never stolen a kobo from the public treasury. We see him as a talakawa (commoner) like us and this is why we zeroed in on him as our candidate.”

Abdullahi added, “We  will  be going back to our General Assembly where we will share kola nuts  to  seal  our decision to deliver 11 million votes as our  support for Buhari.”

But Marwa urged the group to  deliver more than the 11 million votes for the President.

Other leaders of the APC Women and Youth Presidential Campaign team, who joined Marwa to receive the  over 100 Fulani youths,  included former Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba; Maj Gen Alkali,Binta Muazu; Ms. Juliet Ibeku, Pauline Tallen, and Justice Dodo and General Abubakar Alkali among others.
