Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday appealed to all aspirants who lost during the recent primaries of the All Progressives Congress across the country not to abandon the party. "In every competition, someone has to win and someone has to lose, but those who lost should not abandon the party or lose their enthusiasm for the advancement of the party," Buhari said. He advised Nigerian politicians to learn from several aspirants like the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, "who despite his loss didn't abandon APC for another party because he was angry over the outcome of the gubernatorial primaries.'' "Losers of the primaries should always put the party first because we are in it together to serve the country, and I am always proud of our members who demonstrate sportsmanship and a good party spirit." He added that "those elected should see their positions as a public trust instead of abusing their mandates to amass personal wealth at the expense of the ordinary voters who voted them into power.''
