APC NWC Member Speaks On Buhari Delaying APC Presidential Campaign

A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has distanced President Muhammadu Buhari from the delay in kick-starting the presidential campaign of the party.

The NWC member while speaking on the delay in the inauguration of the party’s presidential campaign council said the disagreement over the campaign list has not been sorted.

In the last few weeks, the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu and some APC Governors had expressed their grievances over the composition of the campaign list.

The development saw the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu met with the aggrieved party stakeholders to review the list.

However, days after the meeting was held, the ruling party is yet to inaugurate its presidential campaign council.

The NWC member while distancing President Buhari from the delay in a chat with Sunday Sun said the APC still has more time despite the delay in the inauguration of its presidential campaign council.

He said, “I think we may have been economical with the truth by putting the whole blame for the delay in the commencement of our campaign on the availability of President Buhari. I am sure that Mr President is freer than our candidate now. I want to believe that the failure to resolve certain issues already in the public domain cannot be wished away.

“I don’t think the issue of the disagreement over the campaign list has been sorted out finally. If it has been resolved, the comprehensive list would have definitely been released to the public to confirm our seriousness like other political parties has done. One can also curiously ask whether it is the same schedule of Mr President that could also be delaying the release and inauguration of the campaign council, which is an integral part of our campaign activities.

“The good thing, however, is that we still have enough time. I want to assure party members and supportive Nigerians that APC will come out with a bang when we sort out all these grey areas. Nigerians will hear us loud and clear when we roll out the drums.”
