Former President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday clarified that he remains a loyal member of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress.
The clarification, he stressed, was without reference to any individual, a cast of characters or issues, principles and ideals currently being discussed by party leaders at various levels.
The Ex-President, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu,
reiterated what he said times without number in the past that he is member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and would like to be addressed as a loyal member of the party.
He said he wants to leave no one in doubt that he would never turn his back to the party that gave him two terms of office and would do whatever he can to popularize it.
According to him: “I am an APC member and I like to be addressed as such. I will try to popularise the party by all means.”
He added that at present, he has nothing but gratitude for the support that the party gave him before and during his tenure as president, which he considers as the highest honor, and would never ask for anything more.
Buhari further stated that the pains taken by the founding fathers of the party to establish a strong party to protect our constitution, and democracy as a system of government are worthy sacrifices that should be cherished and nurtured.
