Abuja- A former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari, said the All Progressives Congress (APC)
was working on modalities to meet with former
President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He made this known to newsmen in Abuja on
Wednesday after the APC chieftains met with former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to woo him over to
the party`s fold.
“We have the intention of meeting with former
President Olusegun Obasanjo as soon as he is
available so that we will tell him how we evolve
APC.
“And then, we will ask for his understanding and
cooperation. This is what we have been doing,’’
Buhari said.
Atiku, who spoke at the meeting, said that a strong
opposition was necessary in every democracy to
checkmate the activities of the government in
power.
The former vice president said the APC was a
strong opposition that would give Nigerians better
alternatives in every election.
“I will consult with my political associates all over
the country and then make an announcement later,’’
Atiku said.
Earlier, the ACP Interim National Chairman, Chief
Bisi Akande, said that the party was consulting with
political stakeholders in the country to salvage the
country`s image.
“We had worked with you before and we know you.
The country is being discredited and we feel we
should meet with men of good will to right the
wrongs,’’ Akande said. (NAN)
