Yar’adua group gets thumbs-up for endorsing Buhari

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has hailed the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term by the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Political Movement.

Ondo State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Alex Kalejaye, in a statement at the weekend, described the group as “politically versatile and formidable”.

He said, “No doubt, the decision must have been adopted after a deep assessment of the person of the APC presidential candidate; his achievements in less than four years as the President; and his galloping popularity among the unbiased analysts and political observers”.

Kalejaye argued that the unprecedented crowd that so far witnessed in the APC presidential campaigns were clear indicators that the President is going into the election without ‘any threatening contender’.

He said the APC is fully prepared for the elections, “having been able to convince Nigerians, within a short time, that the party and those put forward for elective positions are sincere personalities with unalloyed integrity, who are ready to give their very best for the betterment of the country.

In an earlier press statement, the group had contended that, “while individuals are at liberty to support any candidate of their choice, Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Political Movement has already endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari of APC for re-election  in the forthcoming presidential election taking place on the 16th of February 2019.”
