Presidency didn’t substitute members of APC convention planning sub-committee – Femi Adesina
*Reiterates Buhari will not interfere in party affairs, matters in courts
The Presidency has denied the media reports alleging that it substituted some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Convention Planning Sub-Committees saying the reports have nothing near the truth.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, made this known in a statement he issued in Abuja on Thursday, copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER.
Expressing the constraint of the nation’s Seat of Power to deny the media reports which claimed that it smuggled in some names into the sub-committees, the Presidency said President Muhammadu Buhari’s position is that he will not interfere in the party affairs.
“Nothing in the allegation can be further from the truth in every material particular. For the umpteenth time, we wish to reiterate President Muhammadu Buhari’s position that he will not interfere in party affairs or matters before the law courts.
“It ought to have been obvious by now to discerning Nigerians that it is not in the nature of this President to go against the provisions of the country’s constitution let alone his party’s constitutional provisions.
“It is, therefore, disingenuous to attribute every perceived infraction in activities of party or government appointees to the President’s desk,” Adesina said.
