Buhari Congratulates Winners Of APC Primaries

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated winners of All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries across the country, urging losers to demonstrate sportsmanship by accepting the outcomes without bitterness or resentment.

According to the president, in every competition, someone has to win and someone has to lose, but those who lost should not abandon the party or lose their enthusiasm for the advancement of the party.

President Buhari advised Nigerian politicians to learn from several aspirants such as Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos state who despite his loss didn't abandon APC for another party because he was angry over the outcome of the governorship primaries.

The president said that the larger interest the APC is greater than individual ambitions, calling on party faithful to work together for success.
