A presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC,Osifo Stanley has expressed his willingness to step down for President Bola Tinubu ahead of May 23rd primary election.
Osifo said this shortly after he was cleared to contest the presidential primary polls by the party screening committee at Plateau lodge, Asokoro in Abuja.
He said nobody has reached out to him to step down for President in the contest.
“The party has not told anyone to step down. The party has not mentioned anything like that.
We have not discussed stepping down. I have never discussed anything about stepping down with anybody” Osifo said.
When asked about the screening process, the APC Presidential aspirant said the committee was fair in its conduct towards him.
“Screening is not something you go for without expecting some form of rigorous and challenging situation. But I think we are one party, and I presented everything I had to present”.
“I was asked all the questions, and I responded accordingly. I strongly believe that the organ of our party responsible for the outcome of the screening exercise will do the needful.
Possibly today or by tomorrow, we should be able to get the results of the screening conducted today”, he said.
Osifo also said as an aspirant in the race, he is ready to go with either mode of primary election chose to use by the party leadership.
“As an aspirant and a member of the party, I am not the authority to decide which pattern of election we should adopt. It is left for the appropriate organ of our party to take that decision”, he said.
“Whatever position is taken, I am a party member, and I am expected to follow the rules and regulations of the party”.
