Stanley Osifo, the presidential aspirant and sole contender against President Bola Tinubu in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary election, has declared that he will never take any action that could harm the party. In a short video circulating on social media, the Edo State businessman expressed his readiness to accept the outcome of the primary elections, where President Tinubu has already been declared the winner in several states, including Rivers and Delta.
Osifo Accepts Primary Results
Osifo described himself as a committed party man who cannot be provoked, regardless of the APC presidential primary results. He emphasized that such outcomes are part of the electoral process and that he must abide by them. His statement reads:
"As a party man and as a member of the front, I don't have to fight my party. And I will never do that, irrespective of whatever it is. That's an outcome of electoral processes. I must abide by the Party. So no matter what happens, I don't see anything that will make me do things that are inimical to my party or be pushed. There are some actions people take, they just want you upset, get angry, to say certain things against your Party. I cherish my Party so much. So I would never allow anyone to push me."
Background on the APC Primary
The APC presidential primary has been a closely watched event, with President Tinubu securing victories in multiple states. Osifo's acceptance of the results underscores his commitment to party unity and democratic processes. As a businessman from Edo State, his decision to challenge Tinubu was seen as a bold move, but his recent remarks highlight his dedication to the APC's stability.
Osifo's stance has been praised by party supporters who value loyalty and adherence to electoral outcomes. His refusal to be drawn into conflicts sets a precedent for other aspirants in future primaries.
