Northern Poet, Fakhrriyyah Hashim Regrets Campaigning For Buhari In 2014

Popular northern poet, Fakhrriyyah Hashim, has revealed her regret for writing an article to campaign for President Muhammadu Buhari’s election in 2014.

Fakhrriyyah, who is very vocal now believes her article was “very ignorant”, adding that it was not backed by facts.

She added that she has never mourned anything she has written as much as she mourns that article.

She tweeted: “In 2014, I wrote a very ignorant non-facts-backed article in support of  @MBuhari’s bid for 2015 that regurgitated same campaign lies the APC rang through on security & economy. I have been wanting to pull it down but I decided against it, instead I will write a rebuttal to myself.

“I have never mourned over anything I’ve written in my life as much as that piece. I love my blog so much for its poems, mostly because it shows me how much I’ve grown as a poet – I started writing poetry and everything in 2014, such a late bloomer, yes.”
