We are not aware of Buhari’s second term bid – APC

The All Progressives Congress has stated that it is not aware of
any declaration by the President Muhammadu Buhari or him setting up
a Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

The party, however, said the President has the right to seek for
a second term in office.

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi
stated this in reaction to the declaration for the President for
second term in office.

According to Abdullahi, it is not in the APC leadership position
to speak about the second term of the President but will get
involve at the appropriate time.

His words, “It is not the party’s place to talk about second
term. The President, within his right as provided in the
constitution has the right to aspire for the second term. The party
has no reason getting involved at this stage. Until the party has
been formally notified it cannot make a comment on that as it
stands.”

Asked what is the position of the party on the alleged
declaration of the President and his setting up campaign committee,
Abdullahi said, “l said the party has not been informed, the party
is therefore not aware and we believe that we will be able to
comment on it if it becomes necessary. As far as we are concerned,
we are not aware of any such action been taken.

We believe that at the appropriate time the President knows the
right thing to do and he we inform the party.‎”

It would be recalled that President Buhari has appointed the
Minister of Transport, Rotimi Ameachi as the Director General of
his campaign organization, having declare his re-election
ambition.
