2015 Election Is A Forgone Conclusion For APC..Buhari

 

FORMER military head of state and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd.), has said that the party will win the 2015 presidential election and that it is a forgone conclusion.

He also described the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan as lawless, calling on Nigerians to join the APC in its campaign to recover the country.

“APC is about securing Nigeria and managing it efficiently, how are we going to do it? The way we are going to do it is why we got the opposition parties with representation in the states and the National Assembly. With that we believe that the question of winning the election in 2015 is a foregone conclusion. We are particularly grateful and impressed by your governor for his single-mindedness and his capacity to identify what is good for his people and for the country, we thank him very much.

“A lot of you here were not born when our leaders thought that the fundamental thing is one Nigeria, in spite of our differences; ethnic and religious, we’ve found ourselves as one people. Our country, with tremendous resources and talented people, but we the people have managed or mismanaged to organise ourselves so that we can use them wisely for this country.

“APC, as I said, is about securing and efficiently managing Nigeria, I want you to believe and participate fully because this effort we are making is for you because no matter how much we love this world or the office, we have only five and ten years to go, you better realise it and accept it and work for a strong Nigeria.  

“I thank Bola Tinubu for his single mindedness and the chairman Akande for his experience and personal integrity to help to get this party firmly on the ground. We in this party will do everything constitutional to make sure that the 2015 election is credible. We are in an extremely difficult position where a government is lawless, it is very clear to us and the international community that executive governors are the chief law officers of their states. Courageous Amaechi has been fighting a government that is supposed to support him constitutionally. We and the rest of Nigeria are absolutely behind your governor and God willing, we are going to deliver our country democratically come 2015, no matter how negatively other people think, Nigeria will survive”, the former head of state stated.

Buhari who spoke at the Save Rivers Movement sensitization rally in Port Harcourt on Monday, also commended the Rivers state governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for his steadfastness even in the face of persecution by federal government over his beliefs.

Buhari’s encomiums preceded Governor Amaechi’s challenge to the federal government for an open debate over alleged unfair treatment of the state by the Jonathan administration.

Speaking at the rally, General Buhari said the APC would do everything constitutional to ensure that the 2015 elections are credible, emphasizing the need for Nigeria to overcome her current challenges as one country.
