BEVERLY HILLS, May 24, (THEWILL) – The Presidency has denied allegations that the Presidency substituted or smuggled in some names of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Convention Planning Sub-Committees.
THEWILL recalls that some aggrieved members of the party insinuated that members nominated for different sub-committee roles in the party’s National Convention had been changed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Responding to the allegations, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, in a statement, declared that it is not in the nature of the President to go against the provisions of his party’s constitutional provisions.
“We are constrained to deny media reports alleging that the Presidency substituted or smuggled in some names of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Convention Planning Sub-Committees,” the statement read.
“Nothing in the allegation can be further from the truth in every material particular. For the umpteenth time, we wish to reiterate President Muhammadu Buhari’s position that he will not interfere in party affairs or matters before the law courts.
“It ought to have been obvious by now to discerning Nigerians that it is not in the nature of this President to go against the provisions of the country’s constitution let alone his party’s constitutional provisions.
“It is, therefore, disingenuous to attribute every perceived infraction in activities of party or government appointees to the President’s desk.”
