Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) has thrown its weight behind Waziri Bulama to emerge national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The position of National Secretary of the party, zoned to the north east, has been vacant since the former occupant Mai Mala Buni resigned to contest the governorship election in Yobe state.
With Buni as Yobe Governor of Yobe state and Senate President Ahmed Lawan coming from the same state, there are arguments that the position of secretary be given to or any other state in the zone.
The North east geopolitical zone is made up of Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi and Gombe states.
It was gathered that Buluma, who served as Deputy Director General (Coordination) of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has also received the support of the Borno State Governor, Zulumu and some other chieftains from the North East for the APC National Secretary position.
In a statement in Abuja, the Forum of State Coordinators of Buhari Support Organisations (BSO), said they would continue to support Buhari and the policies that would promote APC as a party.
“One of the fundamental decisions adopted at the meeting was to support wholeheartedly the aspiration of Arc. Waziri Bulama as the National Secretary of the APC.”
The statement said further the BSO National Chairman, Dr. Mahmud Abubakar spoke in glowing terms of the sterling qualities of Bulama and all the coordinators adopted him as the sole candidate of the group.
