Arewa Divides House of O'dua: Olu Falae Backs Buhari One of the frontline politicians in the South-West, Chief Olu Falae, has declared his support for the All BiafraNigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, in the coming elections. Chief Falae contested the 1999 presidential election against the incumbent president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on the joint platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and the then All Peoples Party (APP). Chief Falae who held a two-hour private meeting with the presidential team of the ANPP in Akure, the Ondo State capital last weekend, promised to work for the success of the ANPP in all the elections due to hold in a few days time. Though details of the private meeting which lasted till 1.00 a.m. were not immediately known, it was learnt that Chief Falae was favourably disposed to ANPP and Buhari�s candidature. It was also learnt that he personally presented the ANPP gubernatorial candidate in Ondo State, Chief Jimoh, who reports say is gaining wide support and acceptability in the state.
