Chieftain of Nigerian’s major opposition
party, the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, is set to
officially declare his intention to contest the 2015 presidential election on
the platform of APC
The public declaration earlier
scheduled for Wednesday 8th October 2014 was postponed to Wednesday 15th
October 2014 due to “paucity of funds”, a source told Sahara Reporters.
According to Chairman of Buhari
Vanguard, Jasper Azuatalam, the declaration will hold on Wednesday at the
Eagles Square, Abuja.
“Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd)
appreciates the overwhelming support he is receiving from Nigerians across
different religions and geopolitical zones.
“Buhari thanks, in particular, Ndi
Igbo and Christians, for the unprecedented and overwhelming reception given to
him at the Sam Mbakwe Airport Owerri and the Catholic Church in Imo State University,
Owerri, where Owelle Rochas Okorocha gave out the hand of his daughter in
marriage on Saturday, October 11 2014.”
“Our references will be on
verifiable records and existing examples. Our promises shall be practical and
feasible,”
“Adequate security of lives and
properties, zero tolerance to corruption, poverty eradication, job creation and
the restoration of discipline in the public service shall be Gen Muhammadu
Buhari’s foremost priorities among other numerous concerns.”
“Every available parameter
indicates that Nigerians are tired of the Peoples Democratic Party and President
Goodluck Jonathan-led government that have performed far below expectations.”
“Nigerians are yearning for
positive change away from the abysmal performance of President Goodluck
Jonathan and the PDP”
“Muhammadu Buhari is aware of the
herculean task ahead and will put in his best as he has always done to rescue
Nigerians and put our nation back in the right track. We welcome you all to
this historic occasion that will usher the emergence of a new and prosperous
Nigeria under the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari come May 29, 2015.”
