The All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians that the choice of its presidential running mate will be made within the context of best democratic ideals like that of its presidential candidate.
In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday
by its National Publicity Secretary Lai Mohammed, the party urged
Nigerians to ignore the “widespread and misleading” reports in the media
about the choice of the party’s presidential running mate, saying it is
yet to even meet, not to talk of picking a running mate.
It described the reports that a running mate for General Muhammadu Buhari has been picked to as unnecessarily sensational, downright speculative, and totally misleading.
“We are using this opportunity to tell Nigerians to pray for us as we seek to pick a running mate for our presidential candidate. This is because this choice is not just for us but for all of Nigeria,’’ APC said
The party said everyone of the persons that have been speculated as Buhari’s running mate is unquestionably competent to be a vice president or even president, adding that no choice has yet been made by the party.
“We are glad with the feedback we have received from Nigerians on the transparent and rancour-free manner in which our presidential primary was organised. We are assuring Nigerians that the choice of our presidential running mate will also be guided by best democratic ideals.
“We appreciate the nationwide interest that the choice of our presidential candidate and his running mate has generated. It is a mark of the confidence that Nigerians repose in us. We assure that we will not disappoint our compatriots who have seen our party as the agent of the change they so much crave for,’’ it said.
