Buhari Urges Supporter To Vote APC Governorship And House Of Assembly Candidates

The President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, has
urged All Progressives Congress supporters across the
country to come out massively and vote the party’s
governorship and House of Assembly candidates in
next weekend’s second round of elections.
In a statement issued in Abuja over the weekend,
General Buhari said, while thanking Nigerians for voting
him into office, that there are still greater challenges of
consolidating the previous electoral victory of the
opposition party.
According to him, the election of APC governorship and
House of Assembly candidates is no less important than
his own victory during the March 28 presidential
election.
He explained that his election should not be treated in
isolation because the APC needs to win at other levels of
democratic representation across the country.
The President-elect added that for APC to govern
effectively, its supporters should also elect the party’s
candidates in the governorship and House of Assembly
elections on April 11.
General Buhari used the opportunity to condole the
families of his supporters who lost their lives celebrating
the APC victory and wished speedy recovery to those
nursing injuries.
He also called for total moral support to the Independent
National Electoral Commission to enable it improve on its
previously impressive performance, despite logistical
challenges and other unforeseen hiccups.
