Buhari fully supports Tinubu’s presidential campaign – Lai Mohammed

President Muhammadu Buhari is fully supporting All Progressives Congress (APC, presidential candidate Bola Tinubu in the upcoming election, according to Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed.

At the 22nd edition of the PMB Administration Scorecard Series (2015–2023), which was held on Thursday in Abuja to showcase the accomplishments of the Buhari administration, Mohammed provided this clarification.

Some media outlets misconstrued his statement that “the President is committed to free, fair, and credible elections, and that he is doing everything possible to assure a level playing field for all contenders.”

“Yesterday, in response to a question, I stated, among other things, that Mr. President is dedicated to free, fair, and credible elections at the post-Federal Executive Council briefing at the State House.”

“This remark has received unfair treatment in some quarters, particularly in light of Mr. President’s endorsement of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

“I want to state unambiguously that Mr. President fully supports our party’s nominee, as seen by his ongoing nationwide campaign with the candidate.

“To even imply that Mr. President, the head of our party, is wavering in his support for our presidential candidate is absurd.

“I hope this clears up any misunderstanding from yesterday’s statement,” the speaker said.
