Buhari and Aso Rock Cabals allegedly supporting PDP’s Atiku for 2023 – Presidential Source

President Muhammadu Buhari and members of the Aso Rock cabals are plotting to retain power in the Northern region in 2023, a presidential source has informed SaharaReporters.

According to the source, Buhari and members of the cabals are secretly supporting Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party against Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The cabals including some members of Buhari’s extended family and friends are the powers behind the throne.

The group, led by Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura, is said to have the ears of the President, influence policies and determine those who get major appointments.

According to Saharareporters sources, Buhari before the May 28, PDP’s presidential primary approved the payment of billions of naira to settle debts that the government owed some companies linked to Atiku.

“Do you know why Atiku doesn’t really care about (Rivers State Governor, Nyesom) Wike and others? It’s because President Buhari and the cabals are supporting him,” he said.

“Buhari gave him monies that were owed him to enable him win the PDP primary. He asked the richest man in Katsina, Dahiru Mangal, to defect to PDP and support Atiku; the reason Atiku is calling Wike’s bluff.

“With Atiku from the North, as a presidential candidate, they have asked top northerners to work for him irrespective of party affiliation.”

The Rivers Governor, Wike, had recently alleged that Abubakar was arrogant because someone in the presidency was backing him.

The governor said the same forces at the presidency promised someone the APC presidential ticket but failed to deliver it.

“Why are they being so arrogant? They are arrogant because they believe somebody in the presidency is backing them. But what they don’t understand is the same person in the presidency backed somebody as APC presidential aspirant, and the person failed,” he had said.

“I will tell Nigerians at the appropriate time who is that person in the presidency that is backing them that they are being arrogant.”
