Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to claims by former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, that late President Muhammadu Buhari had endorsed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 presidential election.
Sani, in a post on his X handle, urged Nigerians to pray for Dalung following the latter’s claim that he had received a message from the late president endorsing Atiku.
Dalung, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Director of the party’s Mandate Protection Directorate, made the remarks during an interview on Channels Television last Thursday.
During the interview, the former minister alleged that former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, had visited Atiku in Abuja to inform him that her late husband’s 12 million votes had been transferred to him.
He said, “Last month you saw when the wife of the late president visited Atiku in Abuja. The message she took for any politician to know is that the 12 million votes have been successfully transferred. We have had a phone call from the grave of Buhari that we should vote Atiku.”
Dalung further claimed that Atiku had inherited the political structures of Buhari and former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
He also argued that President Bola Tinubu would be unable to defeat Atiku in the 2027 presidential election.
Reacting to the comments, Sani questioned Dalung’s claim about receiving a message from the late president.
“When a full grown man says he received phone call from the grave, you can only but pray for him for deliverance,” the former senator wrote on X.
