The United
Kingdom, UK chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that former
Vice President, Atiku Abubakar’s victory as presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has made it easier for Muhammadu Buhari to be
re-elected as President.
According to
the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, the leader of APC UK, Mr Ade Omole said this
in a statement in Abuja on Monday.
Omole
insisted that President Buhari remains the best candidate among the other
candidates, adding that Atiku’s victory would not stop the APC in 2019
He said,
“The task for 2019 election has just been made easier by the leading opposition
party by electing a presidential candidate who was part of the country’s problem
in the 16 years of PDP rule.
“Nigerians
should be wise enough to know, therefore, that he has nothing new to bring to
the table.
“While I
want Nigerians to vote wisely in 2019, I assure that as we did in 2015, we will
work hard again to ensure that President Buhari is re-elected.
“On behalf
of Nigerians and the progressives in the Diaspora, I congratulate President
Buhari for accepting his nomination to be the APC presidential candidate for
2019 election.
‘’His
election by over 14 million registered members of the party during the APC
presidential primaries held across the federation speaks volumes,”Omole said.

also said that Nigerians in the Diaspora were delighted at the enormous
recovery tasks undertaken by the Buhari-led administration in securing the
country, growing the economy and curbing corruption within the polity.
He, however,
urged APC members across the world not to be distracted, but continue to work
hard to ensure the party’s victory at all levels of government in 2019.
