Sheik Dahiru Bauchi, supreme leader of the Islamic Sufi group known as the Tijaniyyah, has endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, for the 2023 elections.
The prominent Islamic scholar in a message to his followers, noted that his decision to endorse Atiku was premised on the fact that most of his followers have endorsed the former vice president.
He further stated that the current administration has not fared well in managing the country, adding that it would be wrong for anybody to continue from where they stopped.
He said, “You can’t bite true believer twice, some people were saying vote for who will continue from where they stop, we didn’t enjoy where they stopped.
“Majority of my people told me that they will vote for Atiku, and I will not leave my people, I will be with my people to see what almighty Allah will do.
“We are praying to Allah to give Nigeria the best leader who will ease the sufferings of Nigeria and bring rapid development.”
