President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has urged Nigerians not to return members of the party, whom he described as “those who brought Nigeria to its knees from 1999-2015” back to power.

The President said this while submitting his expression of interest and nomination forms to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.

Although the President did not expressly name the PDP, it was the ruling party from 1999-2015.

President said his decision to seek re-election was to serve and protect the interest of all Nigerians.

In response, the APC National Chairman, ADAMS OSHIOMHOLE said the party under his leadership was putting in place mechanisms to strengthen Its democratic credentials.
