The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has dismissed the claims of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that
President Muhammadu Buhari wants to be the sole candidate in the 2019
presidential election.
The PDP had alleged that the
crisis rocking its house is part of plots by the APC to present Buhari as the
only candidate in the forthcoming election.
Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of
the opposition party, had said: “President Buhari wants to be the sole
candidate in 2019; that’s why they (APC) want to cause crisis in our party. We
are going to stand as a party and we are going to fiercely contest elections in
2019.”
But reacting, Bolaji Adullahi,
spokesman of the APC, said the claim “makes no sense” and should be ignored.
He told TheCable that such claim
is not in tune with the principle of democracy “on which our party (APC) is
built”.
“The accusation that President
Buhari wants to be a sole candidate does not even make sense,” he told TheCable
on phone.
“It is presumptuous and
inconsistent with the principle of internal democracy on which our party is
built.
“But expecting the PDP to
understand internal democracy would be asking for too much.”
