The apex Northern socio-cultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has said although it is an expression of democratic right for former President Obasanjo to ask President Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019, it is the sole right of the president to make that decision. In a statement issued in Kaduna yesterday by its national publicity secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim Biu, the Forum said, “The statement credited to former President Obasanjo that President Buhari should not re-run 2019 election is his democratic right to express his view like any other Nigerian on all issues including democracy. “Although he (Obasanjo) has expressed his mind and right to freedom of expression, the onus however lies on President Buhari to either yield to the advice or choose to seek re-election”. The forum further stressed that in spite of the letter, “it is President Buhari’s prerogative and that of his party to decide on whether to re-contest or not”.
