Dr. Mahmoud Halilu Ahmed, younger brother of Aisha Buhari, who is best known as Modi, has joined the governorship race in Adamawa State.

In a letter exclusively obtained by our source, President Muhamadu Buhari’s brother in law, Modi, told the state Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC): “I am proposing to have a formal declaration of my candidacy as a gubernatorial aspirant of the APC on the 10th of September, 2018 at 12 noon in Yola.
