All Progressive Congress would have gone on a compulsory retirement if either Atiku Abubakar of the PDP or Peter Obi of the Labour Party had won the 2023 presidential elections.

This assertions was made by Mallam Garba Shehu the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity.

He aslo said the victory of Bola Tinubu as president elect and Kashim Shettima as his vice had established the fact that APC is a dominant political party after they won 21 out of 36 states.

During the visitation of the Arewa Young Lawyers’ Forum, AYLF, to the presidential spokesman, he said: ‘This is a difficult reality for the opposition parties.’

A statement by the Deputy Director for Information, State House, Patience Tilley-Gyado, quoted Shehu as saying: ‘‘In the hands of the opposition, many of the laudable programmes of the Buhari administration would have been sabotaged or unimplemented.

“An important and overlooked aspect of the Tinubu/Shettima victory is that it ensures, not only an orderly transfer of power from the outgoing administration to the incoming one, but also the safety of policies and programmes of the outgoing government.

‘‘For this, we remain grateful to the Almighty and to citizens of Nigeria for sticking with our Party.”

In accepting the appointment as Grand Patron of the Arewa Young Lawyers’ Forum, Shehu urged members of the association to be adherent promoters of the study and practice of legal profession in the northern states.

Other members of the Forum present at the meeting were Mr Audu Umaru, National Welfare Director (Borno State), Mr Ahmad Khalil, National Treasurer (Yobe State) and Mr Paul Gbande, Director of Publicity (Benue State).
