The Presidency said on Sunday that results coming from the states after Saturday’s by-elections are an indication that the ruling the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains the chosen party of Nigerians.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated this in a statement in Abuja on Sunday.
He said: “We do not take this confidence of the people for granted and we will not fail them.
“Nigerians who appreciate the efforts of the administration in making life better for all citizens, especially under an economy facing the severest test from the global Coronavirus pandemic will not be disappointed.
“We thank them immensely for their trust in the party and government.

“We also thank all our governors, parliamentarians, state, local government and ward level APC chapters and the entire ranks of the membership for this brave and impressionable performance.”
Shehu said Buhari while congratulating the successful candidates, said he “is very pleased with the election outcomes.”
According to him, Buhari urged the party to uphold the spirit of “hard work, unity, progress, cooperation that form the bedrock of these victories.”
