Pray For Him: Shehu Sani Mocks Dalung Over Controversial Buhari Phone Call Claim

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to a controversial statement by former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, who claimed that the late former President Muhammadu Buhari had endorsed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 presidential election through a supposed message from the grave.

Dalung, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the claim during an interview on Channels Television while discussing Atiku’s political prospects ahead of the next general election.

During the interview, the former minister alleged that Buhari’s widow, Aisha Buhari, recently visited Atiku at his Abuja residence to inform him that the 12 million votes associated with her late husband’s presidential victory had been transferred to the former vice president.

Dalung further claimed that Buhari had supposedly communicated from the grave to encourage his supporters to vote for Atiku in 2027.

He said, “Atiku Abubakar is the only politician in Nigeria who has a national structure. He inherited the structure of late General Musa Yar’Adua.

“He also inherited that of General Buhari’s 12 million votes. Last month, you saw when the wife of the late President visited Atiku in his Abuja residence.

“The message she took to him is that the 12 million votes have been successfully transferred and that we have had a phone call from the grave of Buhari that we should vote Atiku.”

Reacting to the statement, Sani took to his X account to express disbelief over Dalung’s claim, suggesting that the former minister needed prayers.

In his response, the former senator wrote, “When a full-grown man says he received phone call from the grave, you can only but pray for him for deliverance.”

According to Bush Radio Academy, the exchange has generated further political discussion as opposition figures continue to position themselves ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
