Buhari Group Expels Six For ‘Fraternising’ With Atiku

A pro-President Muhammadu Buhari group, Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari (GMB), Tuesday announced the expulsion of six of its members for allegedly fraternising with the presidential candidate of the main opposition party, Atiku Abubakar, of the Peoples Democratic Party.

In a statement by its Director-General, Hajiya Fatimah Goni, in Abuja, the GMB revealed that the affected members had been parading themselves as members of the association in spite their expulsion.

According to her, the association has notified relevant law enforcement agencies on the fraudulent activities of the expelled persons, whom she said, were bent on tarnishing the good name of the association and that of President Buhari.

“The attention of the Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari (GMB) has been drawn to the activities of some of its suspended and expelled members who are now parading themselves as executives of GMB, and are going about deceiving vulnerable politicians and organisations alike with the intent to misinform, defraud and extort them in this season of politics and politicking.

“These elements have, in the past weeks, been planning with an evil intent to bring Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari into shame and disrepute in a grand design using the name, logo and letterheads of GMB to make a declaration in support of the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

“We hereby draw the attention of the general public that the plan, intent and actions of these criminal-minded individuals do not in any way reflect the views of the GMB and we, by this disclaimer, deny and disown their plans, intent and actions in part, whole and its entirety to be false and of criminal intentions.

“We in the GMB are volunteers for nation building. Our voluntary mobilization efforts for the support of President Buhari is neither for sale nor salable.

“Our time, energy and efforts put in the steering of this organization are with the intention that the administration of President Buhari remains the right choice and the best for the nation in these times when the evil cancer of corruption and its supporting tissues are regrouping to re-infect, re-hijack and re-inflict our nationhood

“We at the GMB will not and shall never compromise for any article of corruption under any guise whatsoever,’’ she said.
