South-East zonal spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress, Osita Okechukwu

The All Progressives Congress in the South-East and some governors elected on the partys platform have hailed the emergence of a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as the partys presidential candidate.

The APC also hailed the losers of the partys presidential primary for accepting defeat in good faith.

The party, which described the losers as co-winners of the presidential primary, saluted the robust understanding and sportsmanship they demonstrated after the result of the exercise was announced.

A former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, defeated former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Kano State Governor, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso; Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha and a newspaper publisher, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, to emerge as the winner of the primary held on Wednesday through Thursday in Lagos.

The party said the candour of the losers and their solidarity with the winner was uncommon and highly commendable.

A statement issued on Friday by the spokesman for the APC in South-East, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, said the result of the primary reflected a nationwide acceptance of Buhari as a man of the people.

Also, the Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, and his Osun State counterpart, Alhaji Rauf Aregbesola, congratulated Buhari on his victory at the primary.

They said in statements issued by their spokespersons that Buharis emergence was an attestation of the high regard the party had for democratic process.
