President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed disappointment at the violence that marred the March 19 Rivers State re-run elections, describing it as shameful.
Speaking today at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held at its headquarters in Abuja, Buhari said he would address the problem of violence in subsequent elections.
President Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as well as some governors and party leaders were present at the meeting.
This is the party’s second NEC meeting after the Buhari-led administration came into power on May 29, 2015.
Speaking on the fight against corruption, President Buhari said efforts are being made to publish a list of funds recovered from corrupt politicians and public servants.
