- APGA has applauded President Buhari's performance, saying he should not be distracted
- The party said it expects the president to take the bull by the horn to restore security in Benue and across the country
- INEC was also applauded for the successes of the Anambra governorship election won by Governor Willie Obiano
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has performed well so far and should not be distracted.
APGA’s position is coming a few days after former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, wrote a letter to the president asking him not to seek re-election in 2019.

Victor Oye who is the national chairman of APGA said President Buhari should remain focused saying he has done well, Daily Trust reports.
He said: “He (Buhari) should not be distracted. He has a mighty load on his shoulders and he has every reason to make Nigerians proud. They gave him massive support in 2015 that brought him into office as Mr. President. He owes Nigerians enormous responsibility to ensure that he governs with fear of God, justice and equity. I know he has the capacity. He started very well despite the challenges.
“I also want to use this opportunity to call on him to ensure adequate security of lives and property. What is happening in Benue today is a threat to democracy, is a threat to national security. And we expect him to take the bull by the horn to restore security in Benue and across the country. I believe he has the capacity to do that."
He also applauded the Independent National Electoral Commission for the successes of the Anambra governorship election won by Governor Willie Obiano for a second term and the recent senatorial election won by the immediate past national chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh.
Recall that NAIJ.com previously reported that Obasanjo, Nigeria's former president, on Tuesday, January 23, asked Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019 as he is already being pressured to do by some Nigerians.
In a statement: The Way Out: A Clarion Call for Coalition for Nigeria Movement, Obasanjo said President Buhari has performed far below expectation just as he added that the All Progressives Congress is not the solution to the country's challenges.
