Buhari’s minister chides Atiku: says “Money cannot buy votes in Nigeria again”

//

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung has said that never again will any Nigerian politician win an election in the country by giving money to the electorate. A remark that appeared targeted at Nigeria’s former vice president, Atiku Abubakar Mr. Dalung speaking in Hausa said: “Buhari’s government is on the right track now and is working towards fulfilling it promises”. Mr. Abubakar, a billionaire member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, had accused the present administration of abandoning him despite utilising his support to come to power. The former vice president is believed to have been one of the major financiers of the APC and lost the party’s presidential primaries to Mr. Buhari in the 2015 elections. He is believed to be preparing for the 2019 elections and is seen by many as one of the few who could challenge Mr. Buhari in the elections.
