Buhari stated that the ruling party “is becoming more popular because of its impressive performance record and commitment to good governance.”
The president made the comment in a message delivered on his behalf by Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), at the defection ceremony.
“I’m proud of your timely and wise decision to join the governing party and our doors are wide open to other politicians who believe in our vision to rebuild Nigeria.
“Your voluntary decision to join our party confirms the fact that our agenda for good governance is the only reason why Nigerians are getting attracted to the APC because the other alternative didn’t work.”
