The All Progressives Congress
(APC) on Tuesday failed to adopt President Muhammadu Buhari as its 2019
presidential candidate.
This is as party chairman, John
Oyegun, got an unanimous vote of confidence.
These were confirmed by the
party’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi.
But Abdullahi tried play down the
bad outing for the president, saying the gathering, however, passed a vote on
confidence on Buhari
“The motion that was put was
after the Minister of Agriculture had briefed the NEC about the activities and
achievements of his ministry, one of the NEC members said we should move a
motion passing a vote of confidence on Mr. President.
“There was no formal motion moved
on the issue of second term for Mr. President.
“Somebody in the crowd shouted
that we should move a motion and we don’t even know that member.
“But the motion that was formally
moved was that NEC should pass a vote of confidence on Mr. President and that
was after the brief given by the Minister of Agriculture, especially when he
said that by 2018, Nigeria will have no need to import a single grain of rice.
“That is the context and I need
you to understand that very well”.
