President Muhammadu Buhari has cautioned the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, of what may happen if they fail to close ranks to project the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He noted that without unity of purpose among the leaders and other party
members, APC might lose to the opposition.
Buhari who spoke during an interview aired by the Nigerian Television
Authority, NTA on Thursday, however assured that those defecting from
the opposition parties to APC, with corruption charges hanging over their
heads, would have their day in the court of law.
The President also foreclosed the possibility of anyone in the party foisting
leadership on members.
He gave the warning to the leaders of his party while answering a question
on the disagreement within the APC leadership, which was believed to be
threatening the anticipated national convention of the party, earlier
scheduled for this February.
Buhari, who related his refusal to assent to the Electoral Act Amendment
Bill to the need to give people and political parties the power of choice to
determine the system that suits them, also said the APC should be
structured bottom-up.
