Mustapha disclosed that Mamora was one of the members of the federal executive council (FEC) that Buhari held in high esteem.
He however did not expatiate on whether Buhari’s preference for Mamora was prior to his second term in office or in the build-up to the 2015 poll when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, then national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was said to have nominated the former president Prof Yemi Osinbajo to serve as Buhari’s running mate, Premium Times reported.
