Boss Mustapha

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Boss Mustapha has dismissed claims that any particular leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) played a crucial role in President Muhammadu Buhari’s emergence in 2015.

According to Mustapha, Buhari’s victory was largely due to his existing popularity, which translated to over 12 million votes.

He attributed the additional three million votes to the merger of legacy parties that formed the APC.

Mustapha’s comments suggest that Buhari’s personal appeal and reputation were the primary drivers of his electoral success.

He emphasized that while the APC merger was important, it was not the sole factor in Buhari’s victory.

Mustapha’s remarks have sparked debate about the role of party dynamics and individual leaders in shaping electoral outcomes.

Mustapha’s comments have significant implications for the APC and Nigerian politics.

By downplaying the role of specific leaders, he highlights Buhari’s personal popularity and the broad support he enjoyed during the 2015 election.

This perspective may influence how the party approaches future elections and leadership dynamics.
