The founder of One Love family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, has tipped incumbent President and candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, ahead other contenders including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party in next month’s election.
Buhari, Atiku, a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili; Mr Omoyele Sowore and 72 others are in the presidential race.
But Guru while addressing journalists at a press conference to mark 39 years of his presence in Nigeria, claimed he saw Buhari winning the election with more votes than other candidates.
The spiritual head of One Love Family while revealing his vision for the general elections, message for Nigeria and by extension Africa and its leaders in 2019, stated that he did not see people like Atiku, Ezekwesili, Sowore and others winning the election because more people will vote for Buhari.
He said, “Atiku, Ezekwesili, Sowore and others should support Buhari instead of aiming to face him in the presidential election”.
Maharaj Ji called on Nigerians to vote for Buhari whom he argued had performed better than his predecessors.
He said, “Elections are for human beings. This is the time to call a spade a spade. Buhari is there. He has another term in the office. I don’t see Atiku, Ezekwesili, Sowore and others as President. I believe, if they will listen to me, they should not be thinking of going to elections. They should support Buhari.
“Buhari is from the North, he has spent four years now by May, let him complete his second term as the tradition that a man from North will spend eight years and South will spend eight years. All of them, they should wait after he completes the second term in the office.”
