Ex-President Buhari Speaks On Why He Will Not Attend APC Meetings

Former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that he won’t be able to attend the caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Wednesday and Thursday.

The ex-President, in a release issued on his behalf on Wednesday evening by his former spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, attributed his absence to earlier scheduled commitments.

He, however, pledged his total support and commitment to the party.

The release stated:

“Former President Muhammadu Buhari has explained his inability to be present at the caucus meeting and the National Executive Committee, NEC, meetings of the All Progressives Congress, APC to which he has been invited and has conveyed his apologies, indicating that he is unable to attend due to commitments earlier made.

“Muhammadu Buhari used the opportunity to express his support and commitment to the party, at the same time wishing it a good meeting as the leaders take decisions on issues of importance to the party and the nation”.
