ABUJA – Chairmen of the State chapters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have thrown their weight behind President Mohammadu Buhari and the national chairman of the party, Chief John Oyegun for accepting  the outcome of the national assembly leadership election.

Rising from a meeting convened under the auspices of the Forum of APC state chairmen with Oyegun Wednesday in Abuja, the Chairmen said that despite the “disappointments”, they were happy that the APC’s leaders accepted the outcome of the election that brought Senator Bukola Saraki and Rep. Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively.

In a communique issued and signed by the chairman of the Kano state APC and Acting Chairman of the Forum, Umar Mohammed at the end of their meeting which bordered on the review of the 2015 general elections, the chairmen said “We totally aligned ourselves with the President’s position regarding the leadership of the National Assembly”.

The visiting chairmen also pleaded with the national chairman to release funds for them to effectively run the affairs.

“Chairman sir, we acknowledge the enormity of the responsibilities placed on the office of the chairman and as such we urge you to brace up and be alive t the challenges so as to move the party forward.

“You should always see us as partners in progress and your own foot soldiers as we pray for more success in future, ” they said.
