On Thursday 10th June 2021, President Muhammadu Buhari said the ruling All Progressives Congress will decide his successor in the 2023 general elections and not him.
Buhari disclosed this while fielding questions from journalists of Arise TV during an interview monitored by Anaedoonline.ng.
The President said, “About succession, what this admin can do is to make sure APC lasts beyond this administration.”
“We have started registration from ward to local government and to the state level. That way, the APC can know the number of members they have state by state and local government by local government so that by the time this administration goes, the legacy can continue.”
“And that is the best way to go for the party and for the country.”

He also debunked the claims that APC automatically forgets the corruption case leveled against politicians immediately they join the party.
Speaking on zoning and succession plans, Buhari reiterated that the APC will be the sole deciding factor.
“Shouldn’t we allow the party to decide, I just told you that we started from the bottom to the top.”
“I told the acting chairman and a committee to give me the report by the end of the month on the convention they are going to conduct and then arrange general elections until 2023. All the elections.”
“And we started this from bottom to the up, so that members of the party will be sure they are involved in decision making.”

“Nobody is just going to sit in Lagos and tell them what to do. This is what we are arranging.”
“Succession plan depends on the party. The party will sit and make its decision by the constituencies they won.”
“So those who want to be president, better join APC.”
