2019: Why APC NEC ‘Shut Down’ Buhari’s Endorsement

Published

on

President Muhammadu Buhari is still consulting with major stakeholders before taking a decision as to whether to stand for a re-election in 2019, Saturday Vanguard has learnt.

This decision was part of the reason the National Executive Committee NEC of his ruling All Progressives Congress APC subtly parried taking a “formal” position on the endorsement of the president’s candidacy for the 2019 general elections.

“You would recall that the president had a pre-caucus meeting with a national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Then he met with the party chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the Chairman of the Governors’ Forum, Abdulaziz Yari and the Senate President Bukola Saraki alongside House Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.
