All
Progressives Congress, APC, National Secretary, Alhaji Mai Buni, may retain his
position at the forthcoming National Convention of the party as President
Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly endorsed his candidature.
A reliable source
at the Presidency told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja that
Buni secured the president’s endorsement at a meeting at the Presidential Villa
on Monday night.
The source
said that the President on Monday evening broke his fast with some state
governors at his official residence where he later requested the governors to
go and work for Buni’s re-election.
“This
followed a report to him that governors in the states in the North-East to
which the post was zoned have returned a resounding and unanimous vote of
confidence in him,’’ the source stated.
Buhari is
also believed to have endorsed Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo as APC
national chairman at the June 23 national convention.
National
Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on Friday announced his
intention not to seek re-election.
