BCO founder advocates synergy

The founder, Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO), Alhaji Hassan Isiaka Sarkin Kudu, has advocated synergy among the various support groups canvassing for the second term electoral victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Alhaji Sarki Kudu also advised the groups to shun in-fighting, fake news and other negative acts that could be detrimental to the main goal of all the groups.

He expressed delight that the BCO, which started humbly in 2014 as Buhari Campaign Organisation Arewa Community South West Zone, had now metamorphosed into a national support group with members spread across the entire states.

Sarkin Kudu, who is presently a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the BCO, spoke yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, at an interactive session with journalists during which he also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the “fatherly manner” with which he successfully handled the lingering issue of the minimum wage, and added that the president meant well for the workers.

Spokesman of President Buhari’s campaign team, Festus Keyamo (SAN), had last Friday, issued a statement saying the BCO did not have the mandate of Buhari in writing a letter to the minister for jobs for some companies so as to help meet its financial pressure.

However, in a statement issued by its Director of Communications and Strategic Planning, Malam Gidado Ibrahim, the BCO distanced itself from the letter, noting that it did not emanate from its office.
