In a statement on Monday in Abuja, the coordinator of the solidarity movement, Aliyu Balewa, said Al-Makura is the best man for the job. 

“We hereby strongly advise President Buhari not to abandon his long-term political associate, Sen. Umaru Tanko Al-Makura who stood by him when the likes of Sen Adamu worked against him in 2003, 2007 and 2011 respectively. 

“Sen. Al-Makura conquered the political odds through fair means but his traducer always bamboozled his way through unfair, undemocratic means,” the group said.
