I did not abandon APC campaigns, says Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says he is ready to campaign for All Progressives Congress candidates taking part in the next general election.

The President, in his statement issued by his special assistant on media Garba Shehu, said that the insinuation he abandoned the candidates, since he last featured at the party’s inaugural presidential campaign in Jos, is untrue.

He “assures the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates in the elections next year that he is ready at all times to campaign for the Presidential Candidate and all party candidates with full energy and conviction.

“This is to dispel expressed concerns in certain quarters that the President has not featured in campaigns since the national launch in Jos, Plateau State and to stress that while he remains committed to party politics, the functions and duties of the President will equally be upheld at times.

“The President noted that the APC campaigns have so far been the most aggressive in recent history. They have been impressive and of a high voltage, compared to the opposition that seems to be playing catch-up.

“He expressed strong optimism that the party will win all the elections fairly and squarely.”
