According to Daily Post, the minister said that nobody can compete with the APC In the upcoming 2019 elections.
He said “Currently, I don’t see any competition to APC.
“The fact that you have crisis – even in individual homes, we have crisis. That does not make that family to go into extinction.
“You must appreciate that political parties are not classrooms where you have one master, one teacher who beats everybody to line. We have a party which came as a result of the agglomeration of several interests who all believed in the symbol that President Muhammadu Buhari represents.
“No other party has that symbolic leader who can be respected, who commands the followership of millions of ordinary Nigerians, and I believe all active participants in the APC appreciate that Buhari is a blessing to the party.
