We’ll support Buhari for presidential election – Action Alliance

The Action Alliance on Thursday directed all its members to support the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari, in the February 16 presidential election.

The National Chairman of the party, Dr. Tunde Anifowose-Kelani debunked the claim that his party has adopted the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has its preferred candidate.

Anifowose-Kelani, who made his party’s position known in a statement issued in Ibadan said at no point did AA consider adopting Atiku at its candidate.

He said that Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and our gubernatorial candidate  in state, Uche Nwosu, are both in support of President Buhari.

“Let me use this opportunity to tell our party members and ‎Nigerians in general that Action Alliance is in full support of President Muhammadu Buhari and we have resolved to work for him.

“Our resolve to support Buhari is borne out of our conviction that he has what it takes to move Nigeria to the next level. He is a patriot, a committed leader who has passion for the growth and development of Nigeria.

“Through his various programmes and policies in the last four years, particularly his anti-corruption fight through which huge sums of money had been recovered, ‎improvement in powers supply across the county, the school feeding programme and infrastructural revolution among several others,” he said.

Kelani ‎ urged Nigerians to troop out en masse and vote for Buhari in the presidential election.

“A vote for Buhari is a vote for continuity, progress, development, economic emancipation, poverty alleviation and better life for Nigerians,” the party chairman said.
