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.
