The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the All Progressives Congress has not presented a valid presidential candidate for the 2023 general election.
National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Debo Ologunagba, had questioned the validity of the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in view of last month’s court ruling that nullified the tenure of Governor Mai Mala Buni as the chairman of the party’s national caretaker committee.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, PDP’s spokesman urged Tinubu “to go home and face the issues of inconsistencies in his educational qualifications, name, ancestry, age as well as corruption allegations.”
Reacting, the APC dismissed Ologunagba’s statement, saying he should seek clarification.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stated that the Federal High Court judgment was flawed.
Morka said, “I am confident that the decision will not pass the appellate court’s scrutiny. For one, the decision flies in the face of a valid and subsisting majority Supreme Court decision in Akeredolu’s case which settled the question as to the validity of Mai Mala Buni Caretaker Committee.
“In any event, that committee was duly constituted by the NEC of the APC and everything done by the caretaker committee was duly ratified by the national convention, the highest decision-making organ of the party. Clearly, we stand on the strong legal ground and are unperturbed by that decision.”
