A former military Head of State,
Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd), has said the has no
anointed candidate for any
political position in the country.
Buhari, also a chieftain of the All
Progressive Congress, said this on
Saturday in Kano at a
sensitisation workshop, organised
by the Kano APC Forum for Peace
and Equity.
The former head of state said he
had no candidate and urged
anybody who wanted to aspire to
any post to feel free to do so.
“Buhari has not anointed anybody
as a candidate, so whoever people
want is his candidate.
“Whoever emerges for the party as
the people’s candidate at the
local, state or presidential level is
Buhari’s candidate. So Buhari’s
candidate is the people’s
candidate,” he said.
According to him, the APC as a
party is not concerned about
Buhari as a person or anybody but
about the future of Nigeria and
Nigerians.
He urged members of the parties
to ensure the success of the APC
in future elections.
Buhari was represented by a
former member of the House of
Representatives, Faruk Aliyu.
Earlier, the former governor of
Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim
Shekarau, who was also
represented, stressed the
importance of unity among the
APC members.
“APC has a history of unity
because it came into being
following the decision of three
parties to merge.”
Also speaking, the chairman of
the forum, Umar El-Yakub, urged
the party’s leaders to avoid
politics of hate, deceit and selfish
interest in order to achieve its
objectives.
