Ali Modu Sheriff visits Buhari in Daura

Former Borno State Governor, Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, has joined the list of politicians who recently visited ex-President Muhammadu Buhari at his Daura residence in Katsina State.

Sheriff visited Buhari after Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar led some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains to Daura.

Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, also visited Buhari.

Shehu Sani, a civil rights activist and social critic, had described the recent meeting of Northern politicians with former President Muhammadu Buhari as a strategic move to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th National Assembly, described the move as an effort to regroup Northern political forces for the next general election, predicting that it would ultimately fail.

In a post via Facebook on Monday, he criticized the attempt to revive Buhari’s political influence and mobilize support, cautioning against stirring Arewa sentiment without regard for the potential chaos it could cause.

He wrote: “The recent visits by some prominent Northern politicians to Daura appears to be the Usual Eid homage, but looking deeper and beyond the facade, it’s surreptitiously a new attempt to build a strong northern alliance using ex President Buhari as a rallying point to challenge and evict President Tinubu’s Government in 2027.

“It’s a regrouping of Northern political forces for the next general election. A project that will eventually kiss the dust. They want to resurrect Buhari’s political charm, fanaticism and mobilise the gullible to another hollow and bewildering end. They want to stock up and light up the Arewa sentiment without considering the inferno it would eventually generate.”
