PDP Chieftain Joins Gen Buhari

A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Hassan Mohammed Sheri, has started campaigning for General Muhammadu Buhari of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to Daily Trust report, Sheri has called on all his supporters to vote for the former head of state in the forthcoming general elections.

While speaking at a press conference in Bauchi on Tuesday, Sheri, who is said to be a close associate of the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, described Buhari as the most credible among those aspiring to lead the country in the current dispensation. 

The popular politician in Bauchi, described Buhari as “an exemplary leader”, a selfless leader, who maintained his integrity despite the various positions he has held in Nigeria.

“If it is for money Buhari would have amassed wealth more than any Nigerian because he had held other lucrative positions that many Nigerians were not opportune to, that could have enriched him,” he stated.

He added: “Let me tell you categorically that I’m 100 percent in support of Buhari presidency come 2015 and therefore appeal to all Nigerians to ensure his victory at the polls.”

In spite of his latest views, Sheri stated that he remains a member of the PDP.

It would be recalled that Gen. Buhari purchased the presidential aspirant form on the platform of the APC last month.
