presidential primaries is a demonstration of democracy at work.
What has
happened is not about winning or losing but about freedom of association. I
wish to thank my contenders for putting up a good fight. I extend my gratitude for
accepting my nomination and I will meet you in due course to fashion out how we
will win the elections.
It is with deep sense of humility to be the candidate
and flag-bearer of the APC. I stand before you and ask that you join me to
bring about the needed change for this country. It is either we advance as one
or we fail together.”
