President Muhammadu Buhari has once again reassured party faithfuls of his commitment towards the success of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket in the upcoming general elections. He also express confidence that the party will win squarely.
This is against the backdrop of series of complains by party faithfuls regarding the President's continued absence in the campaign rallies across the country, most especially in the Northern part of the country where the President is known to enjoy a cult following.
In a statement signed by Garba Shehu the President's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity the President reassured party members of his readiness to campaign for his successor. The statement read in full.
"STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT BUHARI READY TO CAMPAIGN FOR TINUBU AND ALL APC CANDIDATES WITH ENERGY AND CONVICTION
President Muhammadu Buhari assures the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates in the elections next year that he is ready at all times to campaign for the Presidential Candidate and all party candidates with “full energy and conviction.”
This is to dispel expressed concerns in certain quarters that the President has not featured in campaigns since the national launch in Jos, Plateau State and to stress that while he remains committed to party politics, the functions and duties of the President will equally be upheld at times.
Speaking to the Nigerian community in Washington DC in the course of his recent visit to the United States, President Buhari stressed what he said all the time that 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."
