No Automatic Ticket For Buhari In 2019 – Tinubu
According to a stalwart of the APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, President Muhammadu Buhari won’t be getting an automatic re-election ticket in 2019.
He said the leadership of the party had not endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari as its sole candidate for the forthcoming presidential election and that a democratic process will be undertaken when the time comes.
“We follow all the constitutional provisions and an individual opinion does not matter at this stage. Buhari will want a normal process – Buhari that I know. Who says he will lose at any convention?
“But if the national body, the NEC and all of us as members, endorse him as our single candidate, we will not be violating INEC regulations, we will not be violating our party’s constitution. What you are hearing is just a campaign. Buhari has not excluded anybody, and he has not stopped anybody from aspiring or contesting.”
He said this after a meeting with Afenifere in Ondo state.
