President Muhammadu Buhari has called on members of his party, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to remain united and avoid acrimony.
The president made the call on Wednesday in his address at the Eagle Square, in Abuja, venue of the ongoing special convention of the party to elect a flag bearer for the 2023 general elections.
He said the critical task ahead of the Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee (NWC) “remains to continue to forge the unity of purpose among party members and to keep securing needed compromises in the interest of the party.’’
Buhari rallied delegates at the special convention to consider voting for the presidential candidate with the best chances of securing victory in the 2023 general elections.
He also said the party needed to choose a leadership to continue and improve on the landmarks.
The president said the flagbearer must be knowledgeable, a fair-minded nationalist with a very strong belief in the unity of the country and strength of character and purpose to steer the country forward.
