Under normal circumstances Mr. Chairman, this is a guy who already has 11 million votes in his kitty. And I think, as a party, you should give me the right of first refusal but we are in a democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll that I can urge you to do is to make sure that the way you have started, you also conclude the way you have started by being very fair, very credible, giving every contestant the opportunity to face the electorate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wazirin Adamawa added that when given the mandate to run, he would not be a Muhammadu-Buhari type of President.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that a Buhari presidency is incapable of directing Ministries, Agencies, and Departments on what to do to squash the country\u2019s security woes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout two months ago, I was on a visit to Niger State and I decided to pay a courtesy call to the governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor told me, Sir, we have about 12 local governments, which are under the control of bandits. We don\u2019t know how to conduct elections in those local governments. And I went to the President, I said, Mr. President, we need more policemen and the President said how can I give you more policemen when the inspector general of police and the police service commission is in court on who will recruit policemen?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot be that kind of President. And that is where we are today. We cannot recruit policemen because the two agencies are in court and we have a president who cannot bring under control his own heads of departments, not even ministers?\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Ayu who cited his genial relationship with the former vice president vowed to work for all 17 presidential aspirants and allow the delegates to decide the flagbearer.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cLet me acknowledge the fact that you and I have been close friends for more than 30 years. We were key players in the Social Democratic Party and key players in the emergence of chief MKO Abiola. An election that was free and fair. From there we have been walking politically together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you are a presidential aspirant today. But I want people to know that you are still my friend. I can\u2019t deny you. I\u2019m saying this to make it clear to those who say, \u2018Oh, because of my personal relationship with you, as chairman, I\u2019ll work for you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Vice President, I will not work for you as an aspirant. I will work for all the 17 aspirants. It is left to you to convince the delegates of our party that you are the best.
