Former APC Senatorial aspirant, Daniel Bwala has claimed that no Northerner alive can defeat President Muhammadu Buhari.
Bwala, who spoke on Thursday on a Channels’ Television current affairs programme, ‘Politics Today,’ also claimed that “Buhari is a movement in the North.”
According to him, “Buhari is seen as friend of the masses in the North, he’s close to the people whereas that is not the case for Atiku.”
He said “Atiku represents the bourgeoisies while Buhari represents the proletariats. Generally, Atiku is viewed as an elite in the north, this is not the case for Buhari. The Talakawas see him as part of them; and that is why he is consistently getting such figures from the north.

“Buhari has contested for elections five (5) different times, though defeated on three occasions, he has gotten over 11 million votes from the North, this is why I say “no living northerner can defeat Buhari.”
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu in the early hour of Wednesday, February 27, announced President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the February 23, 2019 Presidential election.
Buhari polled 15,191,847 votes to defeat his closest opponent Atiku Abubakar who scored 11, 262,978 in the election.
