Constituents of Daura/Mai’Adua/Sandamu Federal Constituency on Thursday took to the street to protest the imposition of Fatuhu Muhammad, a nephew to President Muhammadu Buhari as the candidate of ruling APC.
THE OBSERVERS TIMES can authoritatively report that the constituents are challenging the party's leadership decision to impose Mr Mohammed against any one of the five aspirants.
Salisu Daura, one of the aspirants said the party leaders asked them to withdraw or “suffer crushing defeat”, citing orders from the above to ensure the emergence of the president’s nephew as candidate.
“Last night, we were told that all delegates were instructed from the above to support Fatuhu. With this order, it is clear the party has decided tow the path of nepotism against that of qualification and popularity,” he said.
