AKINWALE ABOLUWADE
As the momentum for the 2023 elections increases, President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed that he would be at the forefront of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign.
Buhari gave the assurance at the inauguration of the APC’s Presidential Campaign Council and the unveiling of Tinubu’s action plan in Abuja, on Friday.
Mr President said that it was important for the APC to retain the number one position in a bid to sustain the gains of the last seven years.
He urged the party faithful to work in concert as a formidable force for the success of the campaigns.
Buhari said, ”It would be disastrous to allow a situation that will lead to the reversal of the progress our country has made. Let me add that I joyfully accept the position of the chairman of campaign council we are unveiling today.
“Our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is too well known for his capacity and can-do spirit. He stands tall in his track records as a democrat, a champion of the rule of law, a man at home in every part of our country, and a truly visionary leader.
“I, therefore, want to assure all party members and supporters of our government that I will be at the forefront of this campaign.
“This election is even more important than the election of 2015 that brought us into power. The costs of losing the gains our country has made is much more than the need to stop the haemorrhage that led to our coming together nearly nine years ago.”
