Adamawa state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has celebrated the defeat of their son and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying President Muhammadu Buhari is ‘far better’ than their son.
Reacting the victory of President Buhari at the tribunal, his Adamawa state party men and supporters said “even if Atiku is our son but we know who is the best.”
Addressing newsmen at the APC national secretariat after a closed door meeting called to reconciliate all the aggrieved members of the party before, during and after 2019 general elections, the North-east National Vice Chairman of the party, Comrade Mustapha Saliu, said the outcome of the judgment at tribunal was expected. All the cases canvassed by the opposition are things that we all know.
“I don’t want to pre-empt the court but for me, they are frivolous, because you cannot look at Army-General who served from Platoon Commander, Company Commander, Batallion Commander, GOC, Minister, State military administrator, Head of State and President for four years and you are now questioning his credentials.
“You know a lot of things transpired in 2014 when they were looking for those credentials. We knew what happened. The Army has record.”
On the effort the zonal leadership was making to resolve all the crisis arising from the last general elections, Comrade Saliy said: “Some people with various ideas, various ideologies within the party contested for various positions and when some people lose, they will disagree, agree and in the end, agree to enter election as one people and we give our best performance. This is the time we have come back to some analysis after the election. What went wrong during the elections and what needs to be fixed. That is why High-powered committee is set up. Even though some people are members in absentia. They have been consulted, they will still be consulted and participate.
“God willing, they are going to do detailed analysis and come up with master piece of how we are going to solve possible problems that mitigated against us in the last election.”
