The Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, has challenged the governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, to release to the public the signed document that he claimed the President signed to bind him to a single term.
Ahmed gave the challenge to Babangida on a TV interview on Africa Independent Television.
His exact words were “I’m telling you without any iota of doubt and with all sense of responsibility that there has never been any agreement or pact signed by the President that he is going to run for only one term. He has never told me about it and I have never heard about it. The governors said they have the agreement, let them bring it. I know as of fact that there is no such agreement.”
It would be recalled that Babangida Aliyu had declared his interest in the presidential race on the 7th of February 2013 during the book launch of 'The Accidental Public Servant' a book by controversial former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
At that function Aliyu had said “I am not an accidental public servant; I have been preparing myself to be president, I am just not saying anything now”.
