EKO HOT BLOG reports that unity displayed by leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the convention has put the party on a firmer footing for victory in next year’s election, President Muhammadu Buhari has said.

He gave the affirmation in congratulatory message to the Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led 79-member National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

Adamu, a one-time Nasarawa State governor, became the chairman of the party after other contenders stepped down for him on the convention ground at the Eagle Square, Abuja on Saturday.

The President who returned to the Convention Venue in the company of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President Ahmed Lawan for the inauguration of the party executives, noted that the smooth conduct of the election raised the prospect of a mouth-watering APC victory next year.

The President spoke through a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Mallam Garba Shehu.

It reads: “The APC Convention hosted this weekend sets the scene for an APC victory in the presidential and general elections next year. It is a victory over naysayers who believed the party was divided but are now disappointed.

“We believe that it is equally a victory for the president who has ensured unity across all party positions; and it is a victory for the voters of Nigeria who can now be assured of a smooth succession to new leadership in 2023.”

Continuing, it said: “The stage is now set for the APC primary elections later this year when the party’s new flag bearers will emerge. No doubt some will attempt to argue the impossible – that an APC primary election is a source of division while an opposition primary election is a source of consensus. But the good voters of Nigeria can see through such acrobatics and know the facts that, when the contests for 2023 come, APC offers a track record of success and leadership, while the opposition has only decades of failure and complicity in response.”
