Former President Muhammadu Buhari also phoned Tinubu on his birthday, assuring: “I stand with you.”
Prominent figures from the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) have declared full support for President Bola Tinubu, dismissing reports of internal discontent within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“We remain a vital part of the APC, fully committed to its leadership and vision,” they stated in a resolution signed by over 20 members, including ex-Governors Umaru Al-Makura and Aminu Masari.
The move follows concerns triggered by former Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai’s defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“We categorically state that we have neither left the APC nor do we intend to leave,” the statement emphasized.
