The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended former President Muhammadu Buhari for reaffirming his loyalty to the party.
This comes after former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), claiming he had Buhari’s approval.
However, Buhari swiftly denied any involvement, reaffirming his commitment to the APC.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, praised Buhari’s firm stance, stating, “The APC greets and commends former President Muhammadu Buhari for his solid reaffirmation of loyalty to our great party.” Morka also urged party members to emulate Buhari’s example of loyalty and commitment.
The APC’s call to members to emulate Buhari’s commitment comes amid growing speculations over internal rifts following El-Rufai’s departure.
In a statement, Buhari reaffirmed his commitment to the APC, saying, “I am an APC member, and I like to be addressed as such. I will try to popularise the party by all means.” This statement has been welcomed by the APC, which sees it as a testament to Buhari’s unwavering loyalty.
