More details coming…
Meanwhile, We previously reported that Dr Paul Unongo, Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum, said that the north was undivided in its choice between President Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar.
The NEF chairman said the north had decided to stick with President Buhari because he was a tried and tested leader unlike Atiku who he described as being desperate to be president.
He stated in part: "What has Atiku got to offer Nigeria? Atiku would be in one party for two hours and he would abandon it and join another one for three hours and when he does not get what he wants, he jumps into another party. And now he is like saying Atiku must be president, Atiku must be president of Nigeria.
“There is no single person in Nigeria that must be president. I think money tries to make some people mad; they think they can buy anything they want and everybody.”
