Buhari moves to placate angry APC aspirants

Aspirants of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who have been aggrieved over the outcome of the party’s primaries for 2019 elections, were on Tuesday hosted by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The President along the chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, hosted the aggrieved party aspirants to a dinner at the Presidential Villa.
