President Muhammadu Buhari has urged political party aspirants who lost out in the primaries to remain faithful to the country and hold fast on integrity as there will be more opportunities to serve along the way.
Speaking at a dinner with All Progressives Congress (APC) Aspirants Forum in Abuja, Buhari said
the primary motivation to contest elections should be to improve the country, and not for pecuniary reasons.
"We must maintain our faith in the country. I spoke with the APC party chairman almost every other day, at least for an hour during the primaries. And sometimes, we met for two and half hours on ensuring internal democracy during the primaries.
"I urge you to stay faithful if your objective is to serve the country. I came back to power in this 'agbada' to convince Nigerians to make sacrifices that the country needs now for a better future," the President said.
Buhari told the aspirants that "those who mismanaged the resources of the country are still very much around, with incredible wealth," warning the aspirants to be vigilant and circumspect in making choices as the future will only be salvaged by those who love the country.
