A young man simply known as Ali Gaye in Bauchi who swim and drank gutter water while celebrating victory of President Mohammadu Buhari,in 2015 has expressed his regrets for going that far to celebrate APC Government that had subjected citizens to untold hardship.
Ali disclosed this in Bauchi at a press conference saying that after the viral video of him drinking from the gutter, there were promises from APC government to support him but that up till now, they have not redeemed their promises.
He said he was deeply disappointed with the All progressive Congress and President Buhar’s government.
The former ardent supporter of the Buhari led administration who is also a tailor by profession, said that he has parted ways with the Buhari camp and has since joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“When my gutter-drinking video surfaced on the net after the victory of Buhari at the polls some years back, some APC people reached out to me, promising some support and assistance. Till date, that assistance did not materialize.
“Well, thank God, I’m a professional tailor with over 20 apprentices under my mentorship. One would have expected some assistance and support even if it is from the State level of the APC. Unfortunately, no form of support or assistance came from them.
“Surprisingly, the assistance I am getting to enhance my tailoring business comes from Alhaji Musa Azare, a frontline PDP stalwart in Bauchi State. So, the twin elements of sterling, productive and quality leadership that we are experiencing in Bauchi State under Governor Bala Mohammed and the genuine care for the well being of the downtrodden by Alhaji Musa Azare has endeared PDP to my heart.
“Today I am here to tell you that I, Ali Gaye (Na Baba Buhari, ada) and my boys have pitched our tent with the PDP”, said Ali.
When asked if he can advise the youth to drink from a gutter like he did, he answered that this has been a mistake and that he will never advise anyone to try that. That it was a mistake and a foolish exuberance that might have cost someone his life.
Ali then expressed his gratitude to Allah for sparing his life even after taking it for granted.
