President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that he will only support and campaign for his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its candidates across the country.
He emphasised that as a leader and candidate of the APC, his total allegiance was to the party.
A release by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu however said the president welcome the support and endorsements from other parties.
The statement apparently in reaction to continued visit of Governor Ibikunle Amosun and the APM Chairman and Governorship candidate, Hon. Adekunle Akinlade said people should not doubt the absolute loyalty of the President to APC.
The statement said “following repeated media enquiries on the matter, the Presidency wishes to state in clear and unmistakable terms that as a party leader and a candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming elections, “President Muhammadu Buhari will campaign for the party and all its candidates.
“This however does not mean that he, as the nation’s leader, will decline courtesy calls or offers of support from citizens including candidates flying the flags of other parties.
“There is no doubt that the President has no competition here in terms of popularity in the coming elections. But the more support he gets, the wider the margin of victory there will be.
“So please let there be no confusion about this. President Buhari is APC.
“He will campaign for all APC candidates, but he welcomes support and endorsements.”
