Buhari Charges APC, Conduct Credible Primaries

President Muhammadu Buhari has Charged the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on free, fair and credible primary elections.

He made the call during the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the APC national secretariat on Thursday, in Abuja.

The President asked the APC to ensure the conduct of the 2019 primaries follow the Electoral Act and the party’s constitution.

He also urged them to ensure that critical decisions to be reached at the NEC meeting were in the interest of the party.

On defection of some APC members to other political parties, the President Buhari said their exit was not enough to upset the party, particularly in the National Assembly as the party remains in control.

On his part, National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, said the party will continue efforts to reconcile aggrieved members of the party.

Present at the meeting are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, as well as governors on the party’s platform.
