The Allied Peoples Movement has adopted President Muhammadu Buhari as its presidential candidate.
The National Chairman of the APM, Alhaji Yusuf Dantalle, at the launch of the party’s campaign in Ogun State today, Thursday, presented the party’s flag for the number one office to Buhari, who is also the All Progressives Congress presidential (APC) candidate.
Alhaji Yusuf Dantelle, while presenting the flag to Buhari, who was represented by the APM governorship candidate in the state, Adekunle Akinlade, congratulated the people of Ogun State for standing against injustice.
“I congratulate you not just for handing over the flag to the next governor of the state, but for standing up to claim what is your own, for standing for freedom and for standing for the emancipation of your land.
“On behalf of the APM family and the people of Ogun State, Baba is the next president of Nigeria. This flag is for Baba, President Muhammadu Buhari.
“With the mandate of the entire APM family, this flag signifies the adoption of President Buhari as the presidential candidate of Ogun State and Nigeria.”
Akinlade, in his response, thanked the APM chairman and assured him that he would deliver the flag to the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress and the Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, “to pass it on to Mr. President that our great party, APM in Ogun State, has adopted him as our presidential flag bearer.”
