Sani had vowed to spend some minutes inside a gutter and drink the drainage water if President Buhari won re-election.
A Nigerian man called Aliyu Sani, has called out the president.
Sabi, whose viral video showed him drinking gutter water in 2019 to celebrate the declaration of Muhammadu Buhari as President has expressed his regrets.
According to him, he was betrayed after the incident.
Sani had vowed to spend some minutes inside a gutter and drink the drainage water if President Buhari won re-election.
He fulfilled his promise after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared Buhari of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the February 23 presidential election.
The picture of Sani, who is also known as Ali Gayu Na Baba Buhari, doing the ‘4+4’ sign after emerging from the gutter went viral days after the poll.
Speaking on Thursday in Bauchi, the man said he was left to die after the incident.
According to Vanguard, he said he was full of regrets for supporting the President’s victory in 2019 and had decided to dump the ruling party after being frustrated by its lies.
“My name is Aliyu Mohammed Sani, popularly known as Ali Gayu Na Baba Buhari, but that was in the past.
“Almost everybody is aware that when Muhammadu Buhari won the 2019 election, I took bath and drank from the gutter in celebration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s election victory,” he said.
He added that many APC bigwigs he contacted kept on making empty promises while others claimed they could not assist him because he kept mentioning the contribution of Musa Azare, a member of the APC, to his life.
“That is why I am here to categorically state that from today, anybody who calls me or addresses me as Ali Gayu Na Baba Buhari will be sued in court.
“Now I have become Ali Gayu Na Baba Kauran Bauchi and Musa Ahmed Azare, the Jagaban of Jagaban Katagum. I congratulate the Governor on his re-election victory,” he said.
