A group, the Buhari Core Supporters Network (BCSN), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate the leaking of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s zoning documents to the media.
The group alleged that those responsible were out to tarnish the image of President Buhari.

President of the group, Badamosi Luqman, in a statement issued in Abuja, said it is callous that documents with President Muhammadu Buhari’s signature were released under such questionable circumstances especially when the matter the documents related to is one that is controversial and has consequences for the sustenance of Nigeria’s democracy.
He said since the documents surfaced, President Buhari has come under unwarranted abuses and criticism from within and outside the party, including people labelling him a dictator who has hijacked his party members’ right to elect those to lead the party.
The group claimed it had done its investigation and had identified those responsible but insisted that the president should do his own independent investigation and punish the culprits.
“We urge President Buhari to order an investigation into the leakage of the documents with a view to confirming the person(s) behind the leak, their motives, and determining the befitting sanctions to discourage such irresponsible behaviour in the future,” he said.
