A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gen. Buba Marwa, on Tuesday, said no political party would be happy losing a politician like former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubukar. The former Military Governor of Lagos State, however, said the departure of Atiku will not affect the ruling party in any way.
Marwa maintained that so far, there was no better candidate for the 2019 presidential election in the APC than President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said this in Yola after a meeting of stakeholders comprising 20 organisations in Adamawa.
The meeting was organised by the Buba Marwa organisation, where the candidature of Buhari was endorsed for a re-election in 2019.
According to the former military boss, the Buhari administration had, within the past two years, recorded some achievements in the area of security, anti-corruption, improved electricity supply and diversification of the economy through agriculture and solid minerals.
“We are happy with the measures the government is taking in the diversification of the economy, which are already paying off, especially in the agricultural and mining sectors; the improvement has manifested in the recent exit from recession.”
He added, “No political party would like to lose someone like the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; we assure that his departure will, however, not affect the fortunes of the party at any level.
