Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said
that President Muhammadu Buhari is in total support of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the forthcoming
election.
Mohammed made this clarification on Thursday in Abuja at the
22nd edition of the PMB Administration Scorecard Series (2015-2023), organised
to project the achievements of the Buhari government.
He said in his comment that “the President is committed to a
free, fair and credible elections, and that he is doing everything possible to
ensure a level-playing field for all contestants”, was misinterpreted by some
sections of the media.
“Yesterday, while reacting to a question at the post-Federal
Executive Council briefing at the State House, I said, inter alia, that Mr.
President is committed to a free, fair and credible elections.
“This comment has been misinterpreted in some circles,
especially with regards to Mr. President’s support for the presidential
candidate of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“I want to say, unequivocally, that Mr. President is in total
support of our party’s flag bearer, and that is attested to by his continuing
campaign with the candidate across the country.
“It is preposterous to even suggest that Mr. President, who
is the leader of our party, is equivocating on his support for our presidential
candidate.
“I hope this clears any ambiguity that may have arisen from
my statement yesterday.”
