Supporters and viewers of President Muhammadu Buhari were shocked at the presidential campaign in Warri, Delta state, as he mistakenly called the All Progressives Congress, APC, gubernatorial candidate, Great Ogboru, the party’s presidential candidate.
Buhari who repeatedly called Ogboru, the party’s presidential and senatorial candidate was corrected by an APC chieftain who flanked him while handing the party’s flag to Ogboru.
His words, “I am handing over this flag of honour to our presidential candidate.”
A man on the stage to his left corrected him, saying “gubernatorial”, but Buhari responded with “to our senatorial candidate”.
Again, the man corrected him, saying “gubernatorial” and this time, Buhari said “governortorial candidate”.
However, reacting over the alleged statement, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in a statement tagged “APC Warri Rally: Buhari Has Foreseen His Defeat – PDP”, poked fun at the incident, noting that Buhari has no intention of vying for the second term but was coerced by the cabal in his Presidency.
The party said Buhari has long foreseen and accepted his defeat come 16th February 2019.
The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) notes President Muhammadu Buhari’s voluntary handing over of his Presidential candidacy at the APC Presidential campaign rally in Warri, Delta state, on Thursday, and surmised that he (Buhari) has foreseen his defeat and already switched into a handing-over mode.
The whole world watched as President Buhari, apparently overwhelmed by thoughts of his defeat, ended up declaring the APC Governorship candidate in Delta state, Great Ogboru, as the Presidential candidate.
President Buhari told his audience, “I have this pleasure of handing over this flag of honour to our Presidential candidate”, while giving the flag to Great Ogboru.
