The Presidency has revealed that most leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would have been compulsorily retired from politics if the presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi had won the last election.
Garba Shehu, the President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, revealed this while noting that President-elect Bola Tinubu’s victory has established the dominance of the APC.
He spoke while receiving the Arewa Young Lawyers’ Forum, AYLF, and was contained in a statement by Deputy Director of Information, State House, Patience Tilley-Gyado.
According to Shehu: “In the hands of the opposition, many of the laudable programmes of the Buhari administration would have been sabotaged or unimplemented.
“An important and overlooked aspect of the Tinubu/Shettima victory is that it ensures, not only an orderly transfer of power from the outgoing administration to the incoming one, but also the safety of policies and programmes of the outgoing government.”
