- Says nobody should sit in Lagos to decide party’s fate
By Deji Elumoye
President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his desire for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the centre to outlive his government after 2023.
The President, who spoke while featuring Thursday morning on Arise TV, the broadcast arm of THISDAY, also said it will be unfair for someone to sit in Lagos and dictate the party’s zoning formula for the 2023 general poll.
Buhari said: “The hope of this administration is to see APC last beyond it. Therefore we should allow the party to decide.
“You cannot sit here in Lagos, for instance, and decide on the fate of APC on zoning.
“The restructuring of the party has begun from the bottom to the top with the membership card registration. Every member of the party must be involved.
“We will soon conduct our convention. No single member of the party will be allowed to go against the wish of the party.”
