The South Africa chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday expressed optimism that the party would win the 2019 general elections in Nigeria.
Interim Chairman of the party in that country, Mr. Abbey Oguntuase, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Pretoria, South Africa, that the party had become stronger inspite of the defection of some members.
Oguntuase, however, called on the leadership of the party to remain focused and initiate programmes to make it stronger.
“We do not believe that the defection of the former vice president will affect the fortunes of the party.
“We think that the party is stronger and ready for the elections,” he said.
Oguntuase  also urged the leadership of  the APC  not to be distracted by the opposition, saying the party would still  form the national government in 2019.
“President Buhari remains our candidate and I do not see any candidate from the North beating  him.
“If you want to test the popularity of Mr. President, check out the crowd that welcomed him in Kano State two weeks ago,” he said.
Oguntuase also said that the federal government`s war  against corruption was on course with the recovery of more than $2.8 billion by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“ I think it is in our interest as a country to support the Federal Government to  win the war against corruption. We stand to reap the benefit,” he said.

But the group in a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Friday, slammed the ex president for the comment. “For quite some time, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has turned himself into a self-appointed messiah in the efforts to define the political and democratic future of this country. “And the result of this meddlesomeness by the former president has been disastrous for the country,” the group said. AYCF said that it is disgusting that the former president is still bent on interfering with Nigeria’s leadership problems created by people like him. The group said that it has noticed that the former president has made it a duty to lampoon President Buhari at every given opportunity, in a desperate bid to portray himself as Niger...

Fresh Atiku posters flood Abuja with ‘strange’ inscriptions [PHOTO]

Fresh posters of the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, with the inscriptions: ‘The real and the right’ yesterday surfaced in the streets of Abuja. The posters, which also bore ‘Pukka’ a Hindi word, which literally means ‘Genuine’ emerged after a report on how Atiku allegedly enlisted the assistance of two cerebral lawyers in Washington DC, United States of America to lobby the American government for recognition as winner of the last presidential election. Many of the posters were seen in the Central Business District within the Abuja city centre. Recall that Lauretta Onochie, the presidential aide on social media, had said she returned to Abuja on Tuesday to see Atiku’s photographs   with treasonable inscriptions. She counseled the former vice president to pursue his election petition at the Tribunal rather than commit to actions that may land him in jail for treason. However, DAILY POST findings indicate that the poste...
