Shehu said President Buhari’s statement was in response to the APC Campaign Director-General, Governor Simon Lalong, who announced the intention to recreate the SDP-Moshood Abiola’s historic victory in 2003 in a campaign that took off in the same city 30 years ago.
Meanwhile, President Buhari also joined the capacity crowd at the Jos township stadium in endorsing the Tinubu-Shettima ticket, the flag bearers of the APC in the 2023 presidential election. He urged party members to march to deliver the candidates now that the party has decided.
