The governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has just paid a visit to the President Muhammadu Buhari describing himself and a group of other governors as ‘Buharists’.

He debunked rumors that he planned to contest as President instead he emphasized that ‘the Buharists’ are praying for his speedy recovery and are pushing for him to contest and return as President in 2019.

“Our group wants to ensure that President Buhari runs in 2019 and if he chooses not to run he will tell us which direction to go and we will go. We are Buharists; we don’t have any personal ambition, we don’t have any personal aspiration and we are waiting for him to decide and every political effort we are making, every structure we are creating is toward that end.”

Reacting to comments made by the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha al-Hassan, El- Rufai noted that Nigerians should not be surprised or shocked as the Minister has never been in the President’s camp neither has she ever supported or believed in his ideologies.
