Alhaji Buba Galadima, an estranged political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari has alleged that some forces may drag the President into the 2023 presidential race.
Galadima, who is now an ally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, stated this during an interview with The Sun when asked about the on-going debates on 2023 presidency.
According to him, Nigerians should not be surprised to see Buhari contesting in the 2023 presidential election because the president has always been drafted by aides, associates and those enjoying under his government. Galadima said:
“A lot of politicians will be disappointed. Only God knows what will happen between now and 2023. Buhari may even be drafted to join the 2023 fray by some of his aides and associates.
“Buhari may be drafted by those enjoying under his government. Buhari has always been drafted to contest elections, and I won’t be surprised if his supporters draft him into the 2023 race.
“But clearly, what these politicians jostling and talking about 2023 don’t know is that they are over-exposing themselves. They are exposing their weaknesses, and their opponents or political foes may use it against them.
“Nobody knows how 2023 will go. It is only God that knows. Anything can happen between now, and 2023.”
