President Muhammadu Buhari has made it clear that he is ready to back the All Progressives Congress, APC, and all of its candidates, including Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate.
Buhari declared that he will support Tinubu’s candidacy with “full energy and conviction.”
The President extended the reassurance while allaying worries that he had not participated in any political campaigns since the national launch in Jos, Plateau State.
The president’s “functions and obligations” will “equally be upheld at times,” Buhari emphasized, adding that he would continue to be devoted to party politics.
A statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the President, while speaking to the Nigerian community in Washington DC in the course of his recent visit to the United States, said “he is ready to campaign for the party’s victory in the general elections next year.”
The President noted that the APC campaigns have so far been the most aggressive in recent history.
“They have been impressive and of a high voltage,” compared to the opposition that seems to be playing catch-up.
He expressed strong optimism that the party will win all the elections fairly and squarely.
