Former President Muhammadu Buhari has once again made it clear that he remains a committed member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and wants to be addressed as such. Reiterating his loyalty, Buhari emphasized that he would do everything within his power to promote the party, dismissing any speculation suggesting otherwise.
“I am an APC member, and I like to be addressed as such. I will try to popularize the party by all means,” Buhari declared, reinforcing his stance on his continued allegiance.
The former president expressed deep appreciation for the support he received from APC before and during his two-term presidency, describing it as the highest honor. He noted that he does not seek anything more but remains indebted to the party that provided him the platform to lead Nigeria for eight years.

Buhari also paid tribute to the party’s founding fathers, recognizing their sacrifices in building a formidable political institution dedicated to upholding democracy and the Nigerian Constitution. According to him, the efforts put into establishing APC must be cherished and sustained to ensure the party’s longevity and effectiveness in governance.
His statement comes at a time when party leaders across various levels are engaged in discussions over key issues and principles shaping the future of the APC. Though Buhari did not address any specific individuals or controversies, his declaration sends a strong message of unity and commitment to the party’s ideals.
With Buhari’s reaffirmation of loyalty, political analysts believe his influence will continue to play a crucial role in shaping APC’s fortunes ahead of future elections. His stance is expected to boost confidence among party members and supporters, reaffirming the party’s strength as Nigeria’s ruling political force.
Signed by his spokesperson Garba Shehu, the statement leaves no doubt that Buhari remains steadfastly committed to the APC, a party he helped build and lead to victory in two consecutive presidential elections.
