“I am an APC member, and I like to be addressed as such. I will try to popularize the party by all means,” Buhari had said in March this year via a statement his media aide, Garba Shehu released.
In an interview ADC Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, granted Punchng, he alleged that the late ex-President’s wish was for his political family to join the ADC.
“Most of the Buhari loyalists are already with us.
“The majority of them, the entire North is already with our party. We are very confident. The passing of the former President will only cement that for us because that was his wish when he was alive — that his members should join the coalition.
“As you can see, there is a strong representation of CPC and Buhari loyalists in the senior ranks of the coalition — the likes of Babachir Lawal, Abubakar Malami, Isah Pantami, Emeka Nwajuba, Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, Rauf Aregbesola and the rest of them.
Those are Buhari people. And their presence in the leadership of the coalition indicates that that’s where Buhari stood,” Abdullahi told the publication.
