Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has written to Bola Tinubu.
WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that the former Lagos State Governor was elected at the presidential primary in Abuja.
Adamu had declared Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the party’s preferred candidate.
Members of the National Working Committee congratulated the former Senator in a letter sent Wednesday night (NWC).
Adamu said his letter on behalf of all APC members was to congratulate Tinubu on “the sterling victory recorded”.
The chairman said his emergence has vindicated the party’s nationalistic outlook and patriotic posture as the choice for every Nigerian.
“I am pleased that the Party spoke with one voice when the delegates voted overwhelmingly to nominate you as our presidential candidate.”
Adamu expressed hope that efforts between the national secretariat and Tinubu’s campaign team “will proceed with the shared expectations of victory at the 2023 general elections, by the grace of God”.
