Former President Muhammadu Buhari has once again declared his unwavering loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that he remains a committed member of the party and wishes to be recognized as such.
In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by Gabar Shehu, Buhari expressed his dedication to the APC, the platform that enabled him to serve two terms as Nigeria’s president.
Without referencing any individuals, groups, or ongoing debates within the party, Buhari reiterated his long-standing position, saying, “I am an APC member, and I like to be addressed as such. I will try to popularize the party by all means.”
The former president expressed profound gratitude for the support he received from the APC before and during his presidency, describing it as the highest honor of his political career.
He vowed never to turn his back on the party, stating, “I want to leave no one in doubt that I would never abandon the party that gave me the opportunity to serve Nigeria for two terms.”
Buhari also paid tribute to the founding fathers of the APC, acknowledging their sacrifices in establishing a strong political party dedicated to upholding Nigeria’s constitution and safeguarding its democracy. He described these efforts as “worthy sacrifices that should be cherished and nurtured for future generations.”
The statement, signed by his former spokesperson, Garba Shehu, comes amid Elrufai’s recent statement that Buhari blessed his exit from the APC.
