The Federal Government says it is not aware of cabals in the presidency who are working against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and it’s flagbearer Bola Tinubu ahead of the forthcoming presidential election.
This is a reaction to the claim by Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, alleging that ‘some elements’ close to President Buhari are working against Tinubu considering their candidate didn’t win the APC primary election in 2022.
Reacting on Wednesday, the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed stated that the Buhari-led government has been fair to all candidates regardless of party affiliations.
In his words, “If there’s anybody who is working against any candidate, we don’t know officially.
“On a more serious note, one thing I can assure you is that, no matter who, this administration is focused and determined to ensure a free and fair election. And I think this administration, and for that matter now, the most important person in this regard is Mr. President.
“I think he has shown by words and deed that he is committed to a free, fair and credible election. And fair, free and credible elections mean not favouring or disfavouring anybody.
“Everywhere he goes, he makes that very clear, even as recently as Friday, when he was in Daura. He said the same thing. So if there’s anybody who’s working against any candidate, we don’t know officially.”
