DPP adopts Buhari as presidential candidate

The Democratic Peoples Party (DPP) has officially adopted the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), General Muhammad Buhari (rtd) as its presidential candidate. This was the resolution of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party in Abuja.

The party also rectified the Deputy National Chairman, Chief Garshon Benson, as acting national chairman following the resignation of the former occupant, Major General Bashir Magashi (rtd).

Garshan said DPP’s NEC adopted Buhari after reviewing the state of the nation.

He berated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of running out of idea on how to manage the insecurity challenge.

The party’s helmsman said: “We hereby urge all our members all over the country to support and vote for General Muhammadu Buhari the presidential candidate of the APC in the forthcoming election.”

Magashi told newsmen that about six chapters of the DPP have joined APC.
