Following repeated media enquiries, the Presidency has come out to say that President Muhammadu Buhari as a party leader and a candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming elections, will campaign for the party and all its candidates.
A statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu however added that this does not mean that he, as the nation’s leader, will decline courtesy calls or offers of support from citizens including candidates flying the flags of other parties.
“There is no doubt that the President has no competition here in terms of popularity in the coming elections. But the more support he gets, the wider the margin of victory there will be.
“So please let there be no confusion about this. President Buhari is APC.
“He will campaign for all APC candidates, but he welcomes support and endorsements”, the statement reads in part.
