Former President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC), dismissing speculation about his political allegiance. In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, on Thursday, Buhari made it clear that he remains a loyal member of the ruling party and intends to strengthen its influence across Nigeria.
“I am an APC member, and I like to be addressed as such. I will try to popularise the party by all means,” Buhari declared, emphasizing his unwavering support for the party that brought him to power in 2015 and 2019.
Without referencing any individuals or political issues, the former president underscored that his position on party loyalty remains unchanged. According to him, the founding fathers of APC made significant sacrifices to establish a strong democratic institution, which must be nurtured and protected.
I AM APC MEMBER, I LIKE TO BE ADDRESSED AS ONE-BUHARI.
