May 29: APC Mobilises For Smooth Transition

All Progressives Congress (APC) sought the support of a pro-democracy group, The Natives, for the smooth transition between the outgoing administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and the incoming government of president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The party’s national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, stated this when he addressed a crowd of members of The Natives who were on a solidarity walk to the national secretariat of the party.

The Natives have over 20 million members from all the tribes, ethnic nationalities and all religious groups across the country.

Addressing members of the pro-democracy group, Adamu however noted that loyalty to President Buhari should not extinguish on May 29.

He said, “We want your continued support for us and the incoming government. We want your support to ensure that our transition is smooth and peaceful. Want president Muhammadu to hand over safely by the end of May, 29. Buhari has led us to this victory. And one way we can pay him is to ensure that he has a very peaceful exit.
