WE HAD A PHONE CALL FROM BUHARI'S GRAVE THAT NIGERIANS SHOULD VOTE ATIKU - SOLOMON DALUNG
Former Minister of Youth and Sports and ADC chieftain, Solomon Dalung, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu cannot defeat former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on Politics Today, Dalung, who is also Director of the Mandate Protection Directorate of the ADC Presidential Campaign, said Tinubu would still lose even if he took over the ADC secretariat and stopped the party from campaigning.
He described Atiku as the only Nigerian politician with a national structure, which he said was inherited from the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.
Dalung also claimed that the 12 million votes associated with the late President Muhammadu Buhari had been transferred to Atiku, citing Buhari’s wife’s visit to the former vice-president’s Abuja residence.
He said:
“I am as confident as I am, as events are unfolding, that Tinubu, even if he will take over the ADC secretariat and stop ADC from campaigning, he cannot defeat Atiku Abubakar in 2027.
“The reason is very simple. Atiku Abubakar is the only politician in Nigeria who has a national structure. He inherited the structure of the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, because he is a political product of General Yar’Adua.
“And than that, of the General Muhammadu Buhari’s 12 million votes, of course, last month or thereabouts, you saw when the wife of the late president visited Atiku in his residence in Abuja, the message she took was for any politician to know, is that the 12 million votes have been successfully transferred.
“We have had a phone call from the grave of Buhari that we should vote Atiku. Therefore, there is much momentum for them to win.”
