John Oyegun, National Chairman of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said President Muhammadu Buhari remains
the only person that can decide if he will seek reelection in 2019.
Oyegun, while noting that Buhari
is a man of proven integrity, stressed that nobody will make such decision for
him.
Speaking with The Sun, Oyegun
assured that the party under his leadership will not impose any candidate on
Nigerians.
According to Oyegun, the ruling
party is a party of due process.
He said, “For crying out loud,
His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari is 74 years plus. This is not his
first time in governance and he is not a new person on the job; he knows what
is good for him and the country as well.
“He is a man of proven integrity,
transparency and accountability. So, the decision whether to run for a second
tenure or not, depends on him. Nobody can take such decision for him.
“He is in a better position to
say whether he would seek a second term or not. As far as our party is
concerned, we will not impose any candidate on the people. APC is a party of
due process, and we must follow our constitution.
He also urged Nigerians to be
patient with the party, saying APC was working towards “put things right.”
Oyegun said, “Like I said
earlier, change does not come over night; we are working round the clock to put
things right. We are facing very serious problems.
“Nigerians are used to a
particular system, so whenever there is deviation from the normal norms, people
must definitely react but we are very determined to bring the needed change to
the people.
“However, we must do it
logically. Big countries in the world have passed through this stage; we cannot
compromise in our fight against corruption, we are committed and very
determined in building a better Nigeria for all.”
