A member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Working Committee, NWC, has distanced President Muhammadu Buhari from the delay in kick-starting the presidential campaign of the party.
The NWC member while speaking on the delay in the inauguration of the party’s presidential campaign council said the disagreement over the campaign list has not been sorted.
In the last few weeks, the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu and some APC Governors had expressed their grievances over the composition of the campaign list.
The development saw the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu met with the aggrieved party stakeholders to review the list.
However, days after the meeting was held, the ruling party is yet to inaugurate its presidential campaign council.
The NWC member while distancing President Buhari from the delay in a chat with Sunday Sun said the APC still has more time despite the delay in the inauguration of its presidential campaign council.
He said, “I think we may have been economical with the truth by putting the whole blame for the delay in the commencement of our campaign on the availability of President Buhari. I am sure that Mr President is freer than our candidate now. I want to believe that the failure to resolve certain issues already in the public domain cannot be wished away.
