A coalition of presidential aspirants under the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that they didn’t step down for President Muhamadu Buhari to become the party’s flag-bearer for 2019 presidential election.
In a statement signed by Alhaji Mumakhhai Unagha and Dr S.K Ogbonnia, the aspirants said, “We, the presidential aspirants under the platform of All Progressive Congress, APC, in the 2019 general elections, henceforth, referred to as the Coalition Of The 2019 APC Presidential Aspirants, hereby reject the APC presidential primary election purportedly held on the 28th day of September, 2018.
“The claim that Buhari is unopposed as the flag-bearer of the APC for the 2019 elections was not only grossly disingenuous but also a figment of the imagination latent lackeys grandstanding as presidential handlers. The truth is that we neither stepped down for the president nor suspended our ambition to be president on the platform of the APC in 2019. Buhari is merely being imposed, but such plot will fail.”
