How we’ll pick Buhari’s running mate – APC

All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Ni­gerians that the choice of its presidential running mate will be made within the context of the best democratic ideals, just like that of its presidential candidate.

In a statement issued in La­gos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party urged Nigerians to ignore the wide­spread and misleading reports in the traditional and social media about the choice of the APC presidential running mate, saying the party had not met in order to pick a running mate.

It described the reports that a running mate had been picked to run with the party’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, as un­necessarily sensational, down­right speculative and totally misleading.

“We are using this oppor­tunity to tell Nigerians to pray for us as we seek to pick a run­ning mate for our presidential candidate. This is because this choice is not just for us but for all of Nigeria,’’ APC said
