Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, on Sunday, October 7, 2018 condemned the irregularities that marred the primaries of the ruling All Progressives Party, APC, across the nation, taking a swipe at the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomole under whose watch the primaries were conducted.
“It is disheartening to note that some aspirants used their hard earned money to purchase nomination forms, got screened, cleared and campaigned vigorously yet found their names omitted on election day, these forms were bought at exorbitant prices,” the first lady said on her official Twitter handle.

“Many others contested and yet had their result delayed. Fully knowing that AUTOMATIC tickets have been given to other people,” the continued.
“All Progressives Congress being a party whose cardinal principle is change and headed by a comrade/activist whose main concern is for the common man, yet, such impunity could take place under its watch.”

Mahmoud Ahmed, a brother of Mrs. Buhari alleged that the APC gubernatorial process in Adamawa State was hijacked by elements hostile to his candidacy.
Ahmed, as well as Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes commission, EFCC, are contesting for the APC ticket along with incumbent governor Mohammed Bindow.
Ahmed said his agents at various local governments were barred from election centres and, in some instances, threatened with violence.
