Get Guardian on Google…Says ‘He Needs
Former Kaduna Central Zone Senator, Shehu Sani, has urged Nigerians to prayer for former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, after claiming that late President Muhammadu Buhari made a phone call from the grave endorsing Atiku Abubakar for 2027.
Specifically, Dalung, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Director of the Mandate Protection Directorate of the Party’s Presidential Campaign, made the claim last Thursday during an interview on Channels Television.
He alleged that former First Lady, Aisha Buhari visited Atiku to inform him that her late husband’s 12 million votes had been transferred to him.
“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 said.
Dalung also claimed Atiku had inherited the political structures of Buhari and the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, and insisted President Bola Tinubu cannot defeat Atiku in 2027.
However reacting, Senator Sani remarked on his X handle, “When a full grown man says he received phone call from the grave, you can only but pray for him for deliverance.”
Buhari, who served as military Head of State from 1983 to 1985 and as civilian President from 2015 to 2023, died on July 13, 2025, in a London clinic.
Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, neither Aisha Buhari nor the Buhari family has commented on Dalung’s claim.
