President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday submitted his nomination form for the post of the president, warning members of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, not to be complacent.
Buhari expressed appreciation to the group that bought him the N45 million form, saying that he would continue to serve the country to the best of his ability.
It would be recalled that Nigerian Consolidation Ambassadors Network (NCAN) purchased the forms for him.
The group presented the form to him on Tuesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

His words: “I’m here in person among friends and colleagues to put my name forward to my party, the All Progressives Congress, seeking nomination to contest the presidential election next year 2019.

“I assure them and the rest of Nigerians that if nominated and if elected, I shall continue to serve you to the best of my ability. Let me today appeal to party members not to be complacent but to prepare, strategise and win 2019 elections.
