Emerging report indicates that some former Heads of State and power brokers, Olusegun Obasanjo, and Ibrahim Babandida Badamosi, are allegedly searching for President Buhari’s replacement, ahead of the 2019 elections.
It was gathered that the four candidates being currently considered include: 1. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, a former Governor of Kano State and now a serving Senator; he is 60 years old. 2. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the current Governor of Sokoto State; he is 51 years old. 3. Donald Duke, a former Cross River State Governor.; he is 55 years old. 4. Adams Oshiomhole, the immediate past Governor of Edo State. He is 65 years old.
Though, Nigeria’s ailing President, Muhammadu Buhari, has not made his stand about running for a second term in office. in 2019.
Buhari who has been in London for over 50 days on a medical vacation, may have lost interest in a second term in office and consequently, has forced the power brokers out to shop for a new leader to succeed him.
Post-Nigeria had once reported that Obasanjo, Babangida, and Abdulsalami Abubakar, had met at the home of IBB in Minna, on May 2nd.
The outcome of the meeting was not disclosed, but it was believed then, that they met to discuss matters affecting the country in the face of agitations and significantly, the health of the President.
However, in a new development, the Sun Newspaper is now reporting that the discussion of the meeting which was not made public, was dominated by Buhari’s successor.
Consequently, the Generals had agreed that the next Nigerian President must be below 70 years in age, but may come from any tribe or region.
A source close to the leaders told the Sun that: “It was agreed that the next President must be under 70, must be a pan-Nigeria personality from any part of the country. Ethnicity and religion must also not be a barrier.”
The source also claimed that they considered some top politicians who have indicated interest, even though quietly, in the race, and they zeroed in on a few they could identify on the spot, who also met their set criteria.
