The groups, who identified themselves as “Friends of Buhari, USA” are mainly in New York and New Jersey. The groups had a meeting today in the basement of a business on Merick avenue, Queens, New York.
The group agreed to donate their emotional support for General Buhari even as they vowed to starve themselves, in the form of observing fasting to help him win.
“We were just Nigerians praying that we have a safer country we can proudly claim. There were Christians and Muslims and a few that care less about religions. We are Nigerians.”
A statement from the chairman of Buhari Support Organisation -Diaspora Support Initiative in USA, Tony Ike Isama, said that
Only three persons in attendance at the meeting in New York introduced themselves as members of APC but that others did not identify with any political party at home.

“All agreed that PDP cannot in their present composition, do anything to curtail corruption at home.
“We all, friends of Buhari, want a more transparent government in Nigeria, and pray that Buhari begins that process of restructuring us , if he wins.” [myad]
