The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, has said the parting gift of President Muhammadu Buhari is to ensure the APC wins the 2023 presidential election.
Adamu said this during a meeting of the APC stakeholders with Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.
“Our main goal is to see the success of the APC in the forthcoming general election. There’s no better parting gift than to ensure that the APC produces the next President,” the APC chairman was quoted as saying in a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
On his part, President Buhari said the unity, security, and prosperity of the country would matter most to him, beyond his days in office as President.
Buhari, who expressed delight that the APC was on towards that eventuality, thanked the delegation led by Adamu “for the kind words on my role in processes leading to the emergence of our candidate, and his running mate, for the presidential election in February, next year.
“I want to thank you all for the roles you played in the build-up, first to our national convention earlier this year, and later, to the primary elections.

“You were all of one mind, wanting the best for the party, with the candidate emerging in a free and fair manner.
“For us all, the cohesion and unity of the party was the first priority, and ambition was second. I am glad that you all saw the larger picture, rather than narrow, self-serving interests,” President Buhari stated.
Buhari further commended the party for resolving to further mobilise more Nigerians, particularly youths, to register, and get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs), saying: “It is the way to go.”
The Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum and Governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, and the APC’s vice-presidential candidate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, in their separate remarks, expressed gratitude to President Buhari for his exemplary leadership which he said has strengthened the party in the aftermath of the convention and primaries.
