The president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, has urged supporters
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to come out en masse on April 11
to vote for the party’s governorship and house of assembly candidates.
This
is contained in a statement issued by Malam Garba Shehu, Director,
Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Organisation.
In the statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, Buhari thanked Nigerians for voting him into office.
He however noted that greater challenges of consolidating the party’s electoral victory in the March 28 polls lay ahead.
Buhari
pointed out that the election of APC Governorship and House of Assembly
candidates was no less important than his own victory during the
presidential poll.
He said that his election should not be treated
in isolation because the APC needs to win at other levels of democratic
representation across the country.
“For APC to govern
effectively, its supporters should also elect the party’s candidates in
the Governorship and House of Assembly elections come April 11,” he
said.
Buhari condoled with the families of his supporters who lost
their lives celebrating the APC victory and wished those nursing
injuries speedy recovery.
He solicited moral support for the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to enable the
commission improve on its impressive performance, despite logistical
challenges and other unforeseen hiccups.
