"This is the APC stand and I will like to use the opportunity through my party, through the system to secure and efficiently manage Nigeria.

"Of course, it is not being managed. It is up to the party and it is up to the people".

On the consensus arrangement being planned by the leadership of APC during the forthcoming presidential primary, Gen. Buhari said, "We want a fair playing ground for everybody, let Nigerians be given the impression and let them believe that they do matter".

"All these efforts to salvage them is for them and the country but if there is consensus agreement, it is well and good.

The system allows it".

On the withdrawal of former governor of Kwara state and senator representing Kwara central senatorial district at the national assembly, Senator Bukola Saraki from APC presidential primary, Gen.
