POLITICS 2019: We didn’t step down for Buhari – APC presidential aspirants blow hot.

A coalition of presidential aspirants on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has rejected the results of primaries of the party of September 28.

The results saw President Muhammadu Buhari emerged as the party’s presidential candidate.

The aspirants made their position known in a statement jointly signed by Alhaji Mumakhhai Unagha and Dr S.K Ogbonnia.

According to the aspirants, it was wrong for the party to declare Buhari as its sole presidential candidate.

Their statement said, “We, the presidential aspirants under the platform of All Progressive Congress, APC, in the 2019 general elections, henceforth, referred to as the Coalition Of The 2019 APC Presidential Aspirants, hereby reject the APC presidential primary election purportedly held on the 28th day of September, 2018.”

“The claim that Buhari is unopposed as the flag-bearer of the APC for the 2019 elections was not only grossly disingenuous but also a figment of the imagination latent lackeys grandstanding as presidential handlers.

“The truth is that we neither stepped down for the president nor suspended our ambition to be president on the platform of the APC in 2019.

“Buhari is merely being imposed, but such plot will fail,” the statement continued.

“Second, denying qualified citizens their right to seek public office is constitutionally ultra vires.

“Neither the Constitution of the Federal Republic nor the Constitution of the APC promotes prohibitive nomination fees, which the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Executive Committee is employing to exclude thousands of party faithful, particularly the youth and women, from exercising their right to seek public office.

“Neither the Constitution of the Federal Republic nor the Constitution of the APC recognizes the bogus clause, Right To First Refusal, which the party leadership assumed to sideline Buhari’s fellow aspirants from the presidential primary.

“It is also worthy of note that, while the idea of the ‘right to first refusal’ is promoted for the executive office of the president, the opposite is the case for the executive offices of the governors where notable relatives of party leaders, including Buhari’s in-laws, are aspirants.

“Third and very critically, there was no level playing ground in the party’s screening exercise.

“While serving ministers and governors were subjected to a rigorous screening exercise, no attempt was made whatsoever to re-evaluate President Buhari’s qualifications, with special attention to his educational and other certificates, state of health, fidelity to the party as well as national principles in context of the Nigerian multiethnic state, and much more.”

Frustrated wailers. Please did any of you buy the APC presidential nomination forms?

Assif the outburst will change anything... lifeless idiots!

They just want to form drama make e no be like

If Buhari have his way, he'll want to amend the constitution and rule Nigeria forever unopposed just like Paul Biya of Cameroon. He doesn't have anything to offer but he want to stay in office perpetually.
Buhari is a Tyrants and Nepotistic dictator.

Thats your problem

Hey yah! Cry babies.

Crying after spilt milk.

Make una port to another party now

Buhari and his handlers are always on the extreme side of things, why frustrate all who want to run for president under your party knowing that you still have other way of manoeuvering them at the end?

Na only Buhari we know for APC... Who are these mushroom moles? Oshiomole oya uproot them comot sharp sharp... Idiotas

Alhaji Mumakhai Unagha Probably For Niger Or Plateau State And Ogbonai From Rivers State. Your Divisive Opinions Are Inconsequential To We The Bonafide Members Of Apc That Gave Our Amiable President 15million votes.

Clearly, wisdom eluded both of you.

I wonder what documents Buhari presented for his screening

It's quite unfortunate that they were disqualified. However, they never even stood a chance against Buhari. I only wish the party refunds them the money they paid to take the forms. They should take that up and seek legal solace, it necessary.

Mumakhai Unagha is from Delta State. He's an Urhobo Muslim. A simple Google search would have saved you the ignorance.

Ok
