APC Says “our presidential running mate to be subjected to best democratic ideals”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians that the choice

of its presidential running mate will be made within the context of the

best democratic ideals, just like that of its presidential candidate.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity

Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party urged Nigerians to ignore the

widespread and misleading reports in the traditional and social media about

the choice of the APC presidential running mate, saying the party has yet

to even meet, not to talk of picking a running mate.

It described the reports that a running mate has been picked to run with

the APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as unnecessarily

sensational, downright speculative and totally misleading.

”We are using this opportunity to tell Nigerians to pray for us as we seek

to pick a running mate for our presidential candidate. This is because this

choice is not just for us but for all of Nigeria,” APC said

The party said everyone of the candidates who have been speculated as a

running mate to Gen. Buhari is unquestionably competent to be a Vice

President or even President, adding, however, that no choice has yet been

made by the party.
”We are glad with the feedback we have received from Nigerians on the

transparent and rancour-free manner in which our presidential primaries was

organized. We are assuring Nigerians that the choice of our presidential

running mate will also be guided by best democratic ideals.

”We appreciate the nationwide interest that the choice of our presidential

candidate and his running mate has generated. It is a mark of the

confidence that Nigerians repose in us. We assure that we will not

disappoint our compatriots who have seen our party as the agent of the

change they so much crave,” it said.
