Northern Youths under different groups and platforms have commenced a frantic search for President Buhari's replacement in 2019 federal elections.
Expressing discontent with Buhari's style of leadership which they said has failed Nigeria said they find it absolutely necessary to search for another presidential candidate of northern extraction because the indices on the ground show the Buhari-led administration has created more problems than it met it which informed their interest and desire for his administration.
The key voices in the frantic search for his replacement are Dr Junaid Muhammed, Alhaji Ibrahim Gunjugu and Alhaji Shettima Usman Yerima
According to Alhaji Gunjugu, “We have not yet decided on whether it is going to be Buhari or not but we have to continue to support the aspiration of the North to produce the next President of Nigeria so as to balance the loss of power to the South under the Presidency of President Jonathan following the sudden demise of Yar’Adua.
“I can assure you that even though we don’t have any particular candidate in mind as at now, we will intensify the search for a northern leader who will empower the north and revive all the moribund industries there to create jobs for the teeming masses who are now roaming the streets either as IDPs or out-of-school children.
“We are currently searching for the candidate of our choice and if Buhari decides to run, we will present him with our blueprint to implement but if he rejects it, we will look for another credible Northern candidate to meet our political demands,” Gujungu said.
In a similar vein, Alhaji Shettima Yerima gave President Buhari hard knocks saying Nigeria and Nigerians are disappointed in Buhari and his administration adding that the country has never had it so bad.
His words: “We are disappointed. Nigerians are disappointed. Sincerely speaking, this Buhari administration is a failure. It is a failure because this is not what Nigerians expected when they were giving him the mandate in 2015.”
Efforts, he said, are in top gear to look for Buhari's replacement from the northeast in 2019.
According to him, “I think we are going to bring a new alternative in 2019. We have to bring a new order to the country because we cannot afford to have a president who is not in charge of affairs in the country. This is coupled with the facts that some of us look at his age and come up with the reservation that it is not a good idea to have a man of his age to be leading a country like Nigeria with population of about 200 million people. People thought we were undermining him at that time but we said no because somebody of Buhari’s age would find it difficult managing his personal affairs talk less of affairs of a huge country like ours.”
Continuing he said, “We have nothing against President Buhari personally but we believe somebody of his age should manage less burden. “When you look at global events, the way things are turning around universally, you will agree with me that we need at the saddle, somebody who is in tune with global reality. We need somebody that would be agile and knowledgeable enough to move round the world with his counterparts across the globe. For now in Nigeria, that is not the case. And I don’t think we are making any headway in that direction.
“The worst thing is that, for government to look for capable hands that can turn around things positively, it ended up picking some individuals that have been out of circulation over a very long time but who the government is comfortable with. Now, you can see the confusion everywhere. The reality is not all about Buhari as a person. The reality is about nature that is taking a full course on him coupled with the situation of his health that nobody knows.'', he added.
Alhaji Yerima, however, refused to name their preferred candidate but says they would do so very soon.
“What we are doing now is to make consultations across board, we are also reaching out to other ethnic nationalities and personalities. Regarding the likely candidates, it will be too early for me to speak now because I do not have the mandate to mention their names. But I can assure you that after May 29, when they have told Nigerians what they have achieved, though we know they have not done much, then, we will declare the names.”
Alhaji Junaid Mohammed a die-hard critic of President Buhari and 2nd Republic politician minced no words in asking President Buhari to perish the thought of seeking a second term. He said Buhari's administration has brought nothing to Nigeria but sorrow and tears as a result of sheer ineptitude and gross incompetence.
Alhaji Mohammed also said the desire to commence the search for his replacement is borne out of the fact that Buhari's government has been hijacked by a cabal which is bent on solely on their personal aggrandisement.
He said: “The cabal under Buhari has virtually taken over the affairs of the country from him and he cannot counterbalance them, a situation that is very dangerous for the Nigerian people and their future.
“As it has emerged, Buhari cannot take firm decisions against the cabal running his government and working for their selfish interest. In the end, the President is always trying to pacify the cabal to the detriment of Nigeria and it is very sad.
“This country therefore needs a competent leader bereft of religious, tribal and health challenges to manage its affairs.” he added.
