Garba Shehu said the clarification became necessary to 'dispel expressed concerns in certain quarters that the President has not featured in campaigns since the national launch.'
President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to supporting Bola Tinubu for next year’s presidential election but will not allow political campaigns to affect the “functions and duties of the President,” his office has said.
President Muhammadu Buhari assures the All Progressives Congress and its candidates in the elections next year that he is ready at all times to campaign for the Presidential Candidate and all party candidates with “full energy and conviction,” Mr Shehu wrote. Many Nigerians including party faithful had questioned the president’s absence at the presidential rallies of the ruling party, APC since the campaigns started weeks ago. Mr Shehu’s statement suggests the president may not play any key role despite his designation as the chairman of the APC’s Presidential Campaign Council.
In his Wednesday statement, Mr Shehu mentioned that the president, while in the US, expressed his commitment to support all APC candidates.
