Buhari’s Die-hard Supporter Dumps Him After Bandits Abducted 5 Of His Brothers

A die-hard and popular supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Sirajo Saidu Sokoto has made a u-turn after five of his siblings got kidnapped by bandit terrorists.

Naija News reports that the citizen is now trending on social media after he declared that he has dumped President Buhari and is now a supporter of the opposition, former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Kwankwaso is understood to be a full-blown member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Taking to Facebook on Wednesday evening, Sirajo who had once vowed never to leave President Muhammadu Buhari for anything, declared that he has no part any longer with the present leader.

The netizen who is popular on social media for attacking critics of the President and the All Progressives Congress (APC), explained that he is dumping Buhari since no one helped him and his family members to raise the ransom demanded by the bandits.

See Saidu’s post that sparked reactions on Facebook below:

It would be recalled that bandits had on December 12 abducted over 20 people in separate attacks on communities in the Wurno Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

Shortly after the sad development, Saidu took to his Facebook page to cry out, announcing that five of his brothers were among the 20 residents abducted.

His post reads: “All the five men taken in our house are my brothers. The bandits didn’t kill anyone in our community but they took many people in that operation alone. We are waiting for them (bandits) to call for the ransom. Please include my brothers and other victims in your prayers.”

Saidu communicated this in the Hausa language to his over 4,000 followers and about 5,000 friends on Facebook.

Subsequently, the former ‘Buharist’ returned to Facebook to say that the kidnappers had contacted the family and family members had started contributing money to pay the ransom. He, however, did not state the amount requested.

He wrote: “Today, being Wednesday, 29 of December 2021, I, Surajo Saidu Sokoto have dumped the Buhariyya (a Hausa coinage for Buhari supporters) team and have now joined the Kwankwasiya (a coinage for Me Kwankwaso) team. Because bandits abducted my five siblings and I posted it several times but we paid the ransom money and none of them helped me.”
