Former
presidential candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change
(CPC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari(rtd) may after all contest the
presidential ticket of the newly-registered All Progressives Congress (APC) in
2015.
It
was revealed that in spite of the entreaties to the national leader of the CPC
and one of the prime movers of the new party to drop his ambition for a younger
politician with a considerable national appeal, his insistence on fighting for
the party ticket has unsettled his loyalists.
Recall
that before the consummation of the merger deal by the opposition parties,
the former military head of state had in a recent media chat said he
could drop his ambition for a better candidate.
Speaker
of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, is being touted as a more
marketable candidate by the concerned Buhari faithful in the APC.
“By
our calculations, a younger and vibrant politician should run as our candidate
so as to give the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) a good fight; but from the way
things are, we are stocked in between telling Buhari out-rightly not to run and
allowing him to continue with some ripple effects coming our way later,” a
Daily Sun source revealed

ReplyDeleteAPC will meet more problems, Yoruba pple vs Hausa/pple, It can't work now
ReplyDeleteIn search for power Gen. Buhari lost his dignity by allowing Tinunbu to be controlling him anyhow. Even his party CPC symbol is not printed on the APC Flag.
ReplyDeleteFor us to knock out PDP come 2015 my candid option is Tinubu and Buhari should present Rochas Okorocha hold his hands up as APC Presidential candidate, blive u me PDP is finish
ReplyDeleteAPC Hmmmmmm jst an illusion.
ReplyDeleteThe ambition of Gen Buhari to run for 2015 presidential election under the ticket of APC will ab initio spell doom for the new party. The end of APC has come without going for the polls. There are a lot of vibrant young progressives that can man the presidency under APC such, as El Rufai, Nuhu Ribadu, Dora Akunyili, Raji Fashola, Donald Duke, Rochas Okorocha, and many more. Why should Gen Buhari insist on running? The end of the party has come. Nigerians open your eyes and see the evil lurking around the corner.
