The Niger State Coordinator of Buhari Support Group (BSG), Alhaji Umar Shuaibu Suleja, has turned down request by members of the group and some APC members from Zone B to represent them at the Senate next year.
Daily Trust reports that posters suggesting that Shuaibu would contest for the seat which is currently occupied by Senator David Umaru, had flooded major cities within the zone ahead of the 2019 elections.
However, Shuaibu at a meeting with the BSG members and some stakeholders from the zone, yesterday, in Minna, said the time was not yet ripe for him to take such step, adding that the success of President Muhammadu Buhari was more paramount than his own ambition.
The BSG Coordinator urged members of the group and all APC members as well as supporters to work towards the return of President Buhari in 2019 to enable him continue the good work he started.
