According to Daily Post, Buhari was full of praises
for the APC Presidential Campaign Media and
Publicity members as he received members of his
Media Team and Social Media Influencers at the
Defence House, Abuja on Tuesday,


He said: “I want to commend you especially for two
things. First, is the decent media campaign you
conducted. Despite the PDP’s dirty tactics, you
stayed focused on issues and avoided the
temptation to sling mud.”


The high point of the meeting was when the
President-elect cracked jokes with Mr. Tunde
Thompson, a member of the Media Team and one
of the journalists jailed by the Decree 4 in 1984.
Buhari praised Thompson for putting his jail
experience behind to forgive and support him.


The President-elect also praised the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) for deploying
technology as part of the process of the last election
with the use of PVC and Card Readers.


“If not for PVC and Card Readers, the PDP as usual
would have written the results and asked losers to
go to court. How can people who are struggling to
survive go to Court and get money to pay the SANs
of this world? We must thank God for the success of
this election,” he said.


Meanwhile, the president-elect, has expressed
concerns on the dilapidated economy of the country
with just 24 days to his inauguration.
