Aisha Buhari Rubbishes Oshiomhole-led APC Over Primary Irregularities

Aisha Buhari disassociates herself once again and in an expository way from theAll Progressives Congress (APC) under the leadership ofAdams Oshiomhole.

The wife of the President's outburst came shortly after her husband, Muhammadu Buhari received the APC ticket to be re-elected in 2019.

The First Lady, Aisha Buhari took to social media to express her displeasure over the “impunity” taking place in the ruling party.

In her statement, she said it is disheartening that some people buy nomination forms only to find out that the tickets have been handed — automatically — to ‘preferred candidates’.

She also stated that she doesn’t quite understand how such will go on under the watch of a comrade and activist.

Read her statement below:

“It is disheartening to note that some aspirants used their hard earned money to purchase nomination forms, got screened, cleared and campaigned vigorously yet found their names omitted on Election Day, these forms were bought at exorbitant prices. Many others contested and yet had their result delayed. Fully knowing that AUTOMATIC tickets have been given to other people.

“All Progressives Congress being a party whose cardinal principle is change and headed by a comrade/ activist whose main concern is for the common man, yet, such impunity could take place under its watch.

“Given this development one will not hesitate than DISSOCIATE from such unfairness, be neutral and speak for the voiceless.

However, there is this supposition that Aisha's outcry was as a result of her brother who got sidelined in the governorship primaries.
