Northern elders cannot determine Buhari's 2019 victory

Prince Okey Chemberline Adiaso who is a gubernatorial aspirant in Abia state on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that northern elders cannot determine the success of President Muhammadu Buhari in the polls. Daily Trust reports that the APC chieftain made this comment in his Obichukwu village in Isiala Ngwa South local government area of Abia state after declaring intention to contest the 2019 governorship. 

He said the opinion of the elders does not represent the opinion of the entire north. Adiaso said the opinion was coming from those on the opposition who knew the president has achieved a lot. The APC candidate said he shared the same vision as President Buhari which he believes would help him in his political aspiration.
