2011 polls: IBB, Buhari team up to capture northern votes

• As CPC plans alliance for run-off
Former head of state and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Mohammadu Buhari, may have struck a deal with chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ex-military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, over April 9 presidential election.

This is the fallout of Buhari’s visit to Minna, Niger State capital, on Thursday, where he also addressed a political rally.
Sources told Saturday Sun that Buhari’s visit was part of a two-prong strategy towards not only capturing northern votes, but also making it difficult for President Goodluck Jonathan to get two-thirds of votes cast across the country, even if he gets majority votes in the presidential election.
