As the general elections draw closer, the National Chairman of Action alliance (AA) Dr. Tunde Anifowose-Kelani has declared that his party will support ruling All Progressive Congress (APC)’s candidate, President Mohammadu Buhari.
The party chairman dismissed the claim that his party has adopted the presidential candidate of people Democratic party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate.
Anifowose-Kelani, who made his party’s position known in a statement issued in Abuja and made available to PMParrot, said at no point did his party, AA consider adopting Atiku at its candidate.
The party chairman was apparently reacting to a statement ‎credited to a group within the party that Atiku had been adopted, the party chairman said that his party will work for Buharis’s success.
He said that Governor, Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and our gubernatorial candidate in the state, Uche Nwosu are both in support of President Buhari.
“Let me use this opportunity to tell our party members and ‎Nigerians in general that Action Alliance is in full support of President Mohammadu Buhari and we have resolved to work for him.
“Our resolve to support Buhari is borne out of our conviction that he has what it takes to move Nigeria to the next level. He is a patriot, a committed leader who has passion for the growth and development of Nigeria.
“Through his various programmes and policies in the last four years, particularly his anti-corruption fight through which huge sums of money have been recovered, ‎improvement in power supply across the county, the school feeding programme and infrastructural revolution among several others…”, he said.
Kelani ‎ called on Nigerians to disregard the claim that the party was in support of Atiku, urging them to troop out en-mass and vote for Buhari on February 16 during the presidential election.
‎”A vote for Buhari is a vote for continuity, progress, development, economic emancipation, poverty alleviation and better life for Nigerians”, the chairman submitted.
