President Muhammadu Buhari played a neutral and laudable
role in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary for the 2023 presidential
ticket, Garba Shehu, said on Tuesday.
According to him, those who had assembled to witness a
catastrophe were disappointed.
In a statement, the presidential spokesman noted that there
was no intrigue, no division, no disagreement, no defeated candidates rejecting
the result, no splits and no third-party runs.
Shehu said the opposition’s reaction to the successful
nomination convention has come by way of a counter offensive.
The aide said there was clear evidence of a conspiracy to
destabilize the governing party and defame the president.
“President always said he had a favoured candidate. He said
that candidate was whoever was chosen by the APC in a democratic primary to lead
the party at the election.
“The President had a clear purpose leading up to the
primary: to ensure a transparent, free and fair process that will bring back
people’s faith in democracy by taking good governance up to the grassroots
level.
“Those still assailing the APC and the President expounding
conspiracy theories and making all manner of speculations about who did what or
did not need to understand the important point about the country’s leader.”
Shehu insists President Buhari takes his own decisions and
carries them out without the backup of a so-called “cabal” or back room boys.
The presidency said people make assumptions that if one is a
leader, the person dominates everything, including electoral outcomes.
The statement added that Buhari does not suffer from such
constraints and refuses to act as the elected autocrat.
Noting that the flagbearer has been chosen. Shehu maintained
his principal has an unwavering support and “the journey to victory continues”.
