No Vacancy In Aso Rock In 2019 -APC, Endorses Buhari For Second Term

The national caucus of the All Progressive Party (APC)  has declared that there will be no vacancy in the presidency in 2019. Speaking to news men after the caucus members of the party comprising of the party chairman top party leaders, serving and ex governors of the party, the leadership of the national assembly some selected members of the party executives at the national and state levels and the president and vice president declared that those interested in the presidency in 2019 should shelve their plans for now and concentrate on uniting the party.

The party is basically endorsing the second term bid of the incumbent president Muhammadu Buhari as stated by the party chairman chief John Odigie Oyegun who made this known to pressmen after the caucus meeting ended on Tuesday night. He further said the second term of President Buhari would stabilize the polity in the face of what members described as the 16 yearss of misrule and rot inherited from the Peoples Democratic Party PDP.

At the long meeting which was held behind closed doors till the late night on Tuesday one of the issues agreed on was that President Buhari should be given opportunity to seek a second even though they feel its still very early in the present administration to start talking about second term less than a year in office, it was believed that the issue was raised as a way pf restingrestiveness among some party leaders who have been divided over their various aspritions for 2019. Notable amongst these are Alhaji Atiku Abubakar former vice president and Alhaji  Mohammed Rabiu Kwankaso immediate past  governor of Kano state.

Also speaking on the controversies behind his office as National Chairman being under threat by some members calling for his resignation.  Oyegun said there no truth about such insinuation, he dismissed reports of pressures on him to resign his office saying he is not aware that his office is under threat and maintained that as the chairman of the party he led the party to the state house adding that it amazes him and occasionally annoys him hearing or reading about such insinuation noting that a committee has been constituted to address and resolve all the crises in the party. He therefore pleaded for patience and time on the part of Nigerians that the Buhari led government would come on full stream when the budget 2016 is passed by the Senate.
