Presidency: APC leadership divided ahead of poll?

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council has debunked claims that there is division in the party.

Ahead of the election on February 25, there has been some rumours of division between the leadership of the party and the President Muhammadu Buhari over the chances of Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.

According to Bayo Onanuga, the director of media and publicity of the APC PCC in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, February 1, said that the division claim is false.

He noted that this is an attempt to drive a wedge between President Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu.

Onanuga said all plans by these elements will fail. He however, called on Nigerians not to consider voting for the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar because of their failures having ruled for 16 years.

The statement reads in part: “The reference to exchange rate was not in any way an attack on the Buhari-led APC administration, but an attempt to capture how the economic mismanagement of the PDP created forex crisis in the country since 2015.”
