Nigerians Will Stone Us To Death, If We Present Buhari As Our 2019 Presidential Candidate – APC Group Alleges

An All Progressives Congress, APC, group, which goes under the banner of Southern Mandate of Nigeria, SMN, has said that Nigerians will stone them at campaign grounds, if President Muhammadu Buhari is presented as their 2019 Presidential candidate.

National Coordinator of the group, Comrade Francis Ikonomwan, in a statement made available to Journalists, in Benin, the Edo State capital, described the call by members of the Buhari Support Group on President Muhammadu Buhari to contest the 2019 election, as political sycophancy.


He described members of the Buhari Support Group, as a “bunch of people who do not mean well for our party, APC, and Nigerians at large, but rather, they represent their selfish interest.”

Ikonomwan who noted that President Buhari has failed to deliver on his campaign promises, and so Nigerians can no longer entrust him with the leadership of the country, urged him to ignore such calls, adding that, it is not in the interest of the nation.

“We are saddened that these people are not sensitive to the plight of Nigerians. The fact remains that Nigerians are not happy with President Muhammadu Buhari, and our party, the APC.
