The APC Presidential Campaign Council has addressed issues surrounding the rumours that that there may be something amiss within the family of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the name of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo not included in the list of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.
Chief Spokesperson for the Council, Mr Festus Keyamo said that President Muhammadu Buhari who is the Chairman of the Campaign Council,
“specifically” directed that the Vice-President and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha be left out of the Campaign Council to concentrate on the governance of the country and administration of Government.
He further stressed that “as a responsible Party and Government, all the key functionaries of government cannot abandon their positions for electioneering campaigns.”
Festus Keyamo said “the APC has the mandate of the Nigerian people to administer the country on their behalf at least till May, 29, 2023, and this we intend to do with all sense of responsibility.Our candidates and the leadership of the APC have also indicated that the list is not sacrosanct as there may be periodic review of it as circumstances dictate.”
“We will not toe the path of those who governed the country in an irresponsible manner before us and our Party is not in total disarray like those who wish to ‘rescue’ the country, but cannot simply manage their own internal affairs.”
