Why Buhari refused to campaign for APC candidates after his re-election - Bashir Ahmad

The personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on new media, Bashir Ahmad, has said the president refused to campaign for candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) after his re-election because he wanted the people to vote for candidates of their choice.

Ahmad, who made the disclosure on Saturday, March 23, said the party wanted President Buhari to visit some states after the presidential election, but the president cancelled the plan at the last minute.

Legit.ng gathers that the presidential aide said in a tweet on Saturday, March 23, that President Buhari stated that people should be allowed to vote for whoever they want, not because of him.

"Now that the elections are over, and a winner declared, we must all see it as a victory for Nigeria, our dear country. That was why I encouraged my teeming supporters, in a speech I read earlier today, not to gloat. Our God-given victory is enough cause for joy, without deriding those who were in the opposition. All Nigerians, going forward, must stand in brotherhood, for a bright and fulfilling future."
