The Presidential candidates of some opposition parties in the February 25 poll have visited the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, at the party’s Secretariat in Abuja.
They said the visit was to seek inclusion in the administration of President Bola Tinubu, and begged Ganduje to pave the way for their appointments in the current government.
It would be recalled that Ganduje recently said that the APC was in talks with some opposition parties and would soon collapse their structures into the ruling party.
Those who visited were former presidential candidates of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Action Democratic Party (ADP), National Rescue Movement (NRM), and Action Peoples Party (APP).
NRM’s Felix Osakwe, who spoke on behalf of the Forum of Concerned Presidential Candidates, said they are for the peace and development of Nigeria.
He said they did not challenge President Tinubu’s victory at the Election Tribunal because of their desire for peace, saying the President should be told that not all the presidential candidates are against his victory at the polls.
Responding, Ganduje appreciated them and promised to convey their views to President Tinubu.
