The Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Lawal Shuaibu, has said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, is sympathetic to their party because of his believe in change that the party would bring to Nigeria.
Speaking with some journalists in Abuja, Shuiabu also said that Obasanjo has resolved to support anybody that could effect change from current “legalized corruption” in the country.
He confirmed that APC has secured favour from Obasanjo and other ex-head of states ahead of the 2015 general elections even as some of them are still card carrying members of the ruling PDP.
“We don’t have any connection with Obasanjo other than the sympathy he has with anybody that could effect change in this country. He is not a member of our party mind you, he is still a PDP man but for the fact that he is a former democratic President in this country people listen to him. More often than not, some people go to seek for his advice both from PDP, APC and other parties. But he is interested in the type of change we are driving on, so he is to certain extent sympathetic to APC.”
Suhaibu revealed that APC has as a matter of policy, been enforcing it government at all level to ensure the implementation of it approved manifestos across board, and adding that what has happened with legacy parties that formed APC would be totally different from what will happen in APC.
