Buhari expresses sadness as APC loses 50 elective seats

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness over the
decision of the Supreme Court to bar the All Progressives Congress
from participating in all elections (except the Presidential poll)
in Rivers State.

Buhari expressed his view during the APC mega rally in Rivers
State on Tuesday.

The President said, “I am very disturbed by the decision that we
are not allowed to participate in some of the processes. I have no
doubt that I got elected but I have to respect the institutions
that I inherited. I assure you and I recommend that you remain
patient and resolute. We will ensure that justice is done in this
country.”

The ruling of the Supreme Court implied that the APC has lost 32
House of Assembly seats, 13 House of Representatives positions,
three senatorial positions and governorship and deputy governorship
seats.

The President also begged the electorate to “bear with him” as
he continues to fix the country.

He said he would deploy the armed forces and the police in the
state to ensure that all Nigerians are allowed to vote without
intimidation.
