A member of CPC merger committee and 2011 governorship candidate in Enugu State, Mr. Osita Okechukwu told Vanguard in a telephone interview that Buhari’s statement about his ambition of becoming the presidential candidate of the APC in 2015 was misunderstood and misconstrued.
Okechukwu said if eventually Buhari did not emerge as APC’s presidential flag bearer, he will support a better candidate than him that will emerge as the presidential candidate, and his position was very clear when he made that statement, because Buhari is a liberal democrat.
“If you understood what Gen Buhari said, he indicated interest to run under the banner of the four political parties that will merge to be APC.
He gave a caveat that if there will be a better or more formidable candidate he will support the person. So is not as if Gen Buhari going out of his way to say if I am not the presidential candidate there will be no APC, of course he did not say so.
“To be honest and sincere, Gen Buhari had always said, ‘I support the merger wholeheartedly and if the merger adopts or elects me as their presidential candidate, but if they don’t I will support the person that they will be elected as their presidential candidate. I think it is as clear as that, he (Buhari) has been very clear on that,” Okechukwu added.

ReplyDeleteBuhar for ur information ,Nigerians will not support any party u join or support to contest for Presidet because a person who over throne a democratic govt. to become a head of state have nothing to offer democracy. Also b/cos u believe that Presidency is Northerners birth right but a sin to a Southerner. You vow to distabilise this administration causing in-security and blood shed,u cannot have a headway to Democracy. Finally ur CPC party gave birth to APC, they are the same people that killed innocent youth corper that serve this country in the Northern states-Nigerian are watching u and ur group.
ReplyDeleteAPC will not be able to defeat PDP even if election is conducted 100 times in this country. The reason is because Nigerian donot believe in Buhari, Tinabu and others following them, having realised they are tribalistic and blood testy men of underworld. They see presidency as their birth right. Their attitude when not in power have cause the live of innocent Nigerians both in North and south Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteHow can we ever believe anything Buhari says? After he said he won't contest again if he loses 2011 elections. He is just a power-hungry old man that wants to seize the presidency at all cost, even if it means making rubbish of the merger.
