Nigeria’s Presidency says President Muhammadu Buhari will soon bring all speculations regarding his re-election bid to an end by naming a Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) to lead the All Progressives Congress (APC), to victory in the February 2019 general elections.
Information to this effect was conveyed to us via copy of a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu.
According to Shehu, President Buhari said he was aware of the yearning by Nigerians for the formation of a full Presidential Campaign Council towards the APC’s victory in the presidential elections.
Buhari added that he appreciated the growing interest that Nigerians had shown in this issue, and that he was conscious of their keen expectations.
The statement said, however, that the President implored members of the party and the public to exercise some patience regarding the constitution of the PCC.
For now, the President and the party executives are focused on the APC convention scheduled for Saturday, October 6. The Presidential Campaign Council will be put in place after the convention, Shehu noted in the statement.
“We are the party that will free Nigeria from corruption and poor governance. We are the party of change. We will not let the country down,” President Buhari was quoted to have assured.
