President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said that no single person should claim the glory of his victory in 2014.
The president’s statement came on the heels of the report credited to the former governor of Lagos State and national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that he made President Buhari president in 2015 after about three failed attempts.
The president in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said Buhari’s victory in 2015 was a collective interest and not what a single person should claim the glory.
It read in part, “It is perhaps not surprising that on the eve of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer primary there are those running as candidates who wish to associate themselves with the President’s rise to elected office seven years ago.
“There are many people who played parts large and small in his historic election in 2015, making history as the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting president with power changing hands peacefully at the ballot box.
“There are those who advised the President to run again; those who decided to build a political party – the APC – that could finally be the political vehicle capable of delivering victory where all other opposition parties and alliances before it had failed.
“Those decisions may have been agreed upon by a few. But they were delivered by thousands and voted for by tens of millions. No one can or should claim to have made this possible.
“Yet as important as that moment was, it is not what should decide the next general election.
“What matters is the future: the policy platforms, the ideas, the drive, and the determination to take over the President’s stewardship of our country and build upon his legacy to make our country better than it has ever been.
“The person most demonstrable in those qualities is the one to lead our party and our country forward.”

So BAT is no longer relevant in PMB historic victory in 2015?
That’s ridiculously ridiculous.
