Ahead of the December 10 presidential primaries
of the All Progressives Congress, former Head of
State, Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), on
Monday returned his nomination and expression
of interest forms.
Buhari is the second aspirant to do so.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakkar had earlier
submitted his.
In his brief remarks during the occasion, the
aspirant expressed appreciation to the National
Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun,
and members of his team for making themselves
available to receive the forms.
He also used the occasion to comment on last
week’s police invasion of the National Assembly.
Buhari said, “It is a distressing situation where
those who are supposed to protect the
constitution are the ones that are undermining it.
“That place is a House Representatives and for
the Senate; they are sacred places. They
shouldn’t go there as members of law
enforcement agencies, much less fire teargas and
harassing them. They are breaking down and
undermining the constitution and if they are doing
that, who is going to correct (them)?”
