Buhari won the presidential primaries

 

Former Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari has won the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He polled 3,430 votes to get the ticket.
 
His votes outnumbered those of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Kano State governor, Dr Rabiu Kwankwanso who got 954 and 974 votes respectively.

Giving  his acceptance speech,  
He said “the outcome of the 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.”
