Muhammadu Buhari has challenged leadership and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to abide by the nation and APC’s constitutions as well as the electoral act while conducting the forthcoming party primaries.
According to him, it is only by so doing that the party will serve as a shining example for others to emulate, adding that any political party worth its salt must get its internal democracy rights.
“Today, we are meeting to look at some major decisions that will lead to excellent performance at the polls next year starting with party primaries at various levels.
“I urge you all to ensure that the decisions taken here today are those that will be for the good of the party and that will meet the yearnings and aspirations of our teaming members and supporters nationwide.
They look up to us for guidance and we must not disappoint or fail them.
“As we stand on the threshold of party primaries, I urge all and sundry to ensure that we play the game according to the rules. Let us come out with free, fair and credible primaries which will be precursor to free, fair and credible general elections next year.
“Let us shine the light through our primaries and the rest of the country will find the way.
“Our primaries must be in complete compliance with the provision of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, the Electoral Act and above all the constitution of our party, the APC.’’
