Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday night, met behind closed doors with the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at his residence in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Special Assistant to the President on Digital Communications, Bashir Ahmad, confirmed the meeting in a tweet on Wednesday.
“President Muhammadu Buhari receives our Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, earlier today, in his residence at the State House, Abuja”, the tweet read.
Earlier, President Buhari had in a statement issued by Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, said he is ready at all times to campaign for the presidential candidate and all party candidates of the APC with “full energy and conviction.”
President Buhari said the assurance was meant to dispel expressed concerns in certain quarters that he had not featured in campaigns since the national launch in Jos, Plateau.
He, however, stressed that while he remained committed to party politics, the President’s functions and duties would be upheld at all times.
