How Obasanjo, IBB Begged Me To Step Down For Buhari In 2007 – Ex-gov Yerima by Yeskem: 8:59am On Jan 02
Fresh facts have emerged on how former President Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Nigerian Leader, General Ibrahim Babangida worked for the emergence of the then General Muhammadu Buhari as the candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in the build-up to the 2007 presidential election.

Former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Ahmad Sani Yerima, gave this revelation on Friday, December 29, 2023, while featuring on the second edition of ‘Inside Sources’ on Channels TV anchored by former Presidential Aide, Laolu Akande.Obasanjo, who had already anointed Umaru Musa Yar’Adua as the PDP presidential candidate, rooted for Buhari to emerge as the opposition candidate, believing that would give him a less tedious ride to win the presidency for his party as he didn’t want Yerima, also a top contender in the ANPP then, to go head-to-head with Yaradua.
The then-governor of Zamfara State, Senator Yerima, had on October 27, 1999 introduced Sharia law in his state, and 11 other states in the north with majority Muslim populations, including those of Kano and Kaduna, followed suit, which made Yerima’s popularity to soar in the north and positioned him ahead of others as a likely winner in and general elections.

So Sen. Yerima you mean you would have won the 2007 election because you introduced sharia laws?
