2019 election: APC speaks on newly formed coalition

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to the newly
formed coalition.

The ruling party said the prospect of a coalition ahead of the 2019
general elections did not in anyway threaten it.

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi,
spoke with Punch in Abuja, on Wednesday.

Abdullahi said, "The prospect of a coalition does not threaten the APC
at all. The only threat we can begin to worry about lies with the
Nigerian people.

"If it is about competition for power, how many political parties do
we have? That is enough reason for us to worry about competition.

"If another coalition is set up for the purpose of winning power good
luck to them, that is the essence of constitutional democracy, a
multi-party system thrives in that kind of situation.

"So, we don't feel any threat, we don't feel concerned; they are
welcome to the field."
