Former FCT Minister and deputy national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has openly pledged his support to General Muhammadu Buhari (popularly referred to as GMB on social media) in the forthcoming 2015 Presidential Election.
El-Rufai made this declaration on Twitter on Saturday, March 1, 2014.
"@aliyubugaje: Sir please what can you say about the issue concerning you and GMB? @elrufai"….what issue? Is there any I am not aware of?

Nonsense. GMB is the only candidate I support for the presidency in 2015

Not only did he pledge his support, but also stated that GMB is the only candidate he supports. Does that mean it is Buhari or no one? Is El-Rufai speaking on behalf of the APC?
We’ll see how events unfold in the coming months leading up to the General Elections.
The presidential elections is scheduled to hold on February 14, 2015.
