President Muhammadu Buhari has said he wants the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to be returned to power in 2023.

Buhari stated that he wants all governors elected on the platform of the APC to be re-elected, saying he wants most states to become APC states.

The President said this during the inauguration of a 350-member Nasarawa State APC Campaign Council for the 2023 general election.

President Buhari, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, called on the electorate in Nasarawa State to vote for the return of the state governor, Abdullahi Sule, for the continuity and consolidation of his achievement.

He said: “My leadership is committed to the safety and security of this country. My leadership is committed to the revitalisation of agriculture and diversification of the economy of this country.

“I am committed to leave this country much safer. I am committed leaving this country where probity and transparency is the key. And therefore, these legacies I am going to leave; the legacy of infrastructure, the legacy of diversified economy, the legacy of a safer country. Who is best to consolidate that legacy?

“What I want first of all is that my party should be returned. I want all the governors of APC to be returned. I want most states to become APC states. And therefore in that context, what do I want? Continuity and consolidation of our achievements in Nasarawa State,” Buhari stated.

Also speaking at the event, Governor Sule vowed that the members of the Nasarawa State Campaign Council would campaign for the party as if they were the underdogs.

“We are not going to have overconfidence the way other people are having. We are going to put in all our energies in this campaign until we deliver because we want to come back and continue with the good work we are doing,” he said.

Sule later presented operational tools to members of the state campaign council at the local government level which include motorcycles and a vehicle to each of the local government campaign coordinators in the 13 LGAs of the state.
