Governor AbdulAzeez Yari of Zamfara State said yesterday that governors are supporting the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari because he stood by them during their trying moments including giving them bailouts when majority of them could not pay salaries of workers.

Governor Yari said in Abuja at the official launch of FORWARD WITH BUHARI, an independent campaign platform for the re-election of President Buhari Daily Trust reports.

He said some of the governors would have relocated to Abuja if the president did not come to their aide during the difficult period.

“If he can do this irrespective of party, it is time to pay back. Those that stay with Buhari, even his opponents, know his zero tolerance to corruption,” Yari said.

“It is about three weeks to the election. We need to work harder; we should go back home and gear up to return President Buhari for a second time,” he said.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who was represented by the Minister Youths and Sports, Barr. Solomon Dalung, said President Buhari deserved to be re-elected in order to move the country to the next level.

The coordinator of the group who doubles as APC Deputy National Chairman, North, Sen. Lawali Shuaibu, said the group not only to create visibility for the campaign but to also endear the brand of Buhari/Osinbajo in the hearts of Nigerian voters.
