Former military Head of State and
presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change in the
2011 election, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at a rally in Kagoro,
Southern Kaduna on Saturday said that the All Progressive Change would
win the 2015 presidential election.
Buhari, who led other opposition parties
at the rally to unveil APC, said Nigerians are yearning for change as a
result of inept leadership.
The theme of the rally was, ‘A Decade of Democracy: A region at Crossroad.’
Buhari noted that the problems confronting Southern Kaduna and the North, was as a result of poor leadership and bad governance.
He said, “Since 2007, I have told many
people that the only way we can defeat and kick the PDP out of
government at all levels, is by coming together under one platform.
“With what is happening in Southern
Kaduna, I want everyone that is here to go back to his state and
constituency, and sensitise the people so that together, we can deliver
Nigerians from the hands of misrules.”
The former military ruler who unveiled
the emblem of the APC at the event added, “We are going to win in 2015.
We have confidence in it. How much have our states earned from 1999 to
date and what is the level of development and infrastructure? The
railway, industries and so many companies have all gone because of
outright theft in the system. So, between now and 2015, we have great
job to do and by God’s grace, we shall make it.”
Also, at the occasion, Nasarawa State
Governor Umaru Almakura, urged the people of Southern Kaduna and the
state to take a cue from what happened in his state in 2011 and ensure
that there is change in 2015.
The governor said, “With the acceptance
of APC by the people of Southern Kaduna, APC will take over Kaduna State
in 2015. There has been decay in the system and it’s now time for all
of us to come together and seize power from the PDP.
‘We have to denounce our unfruitful
support to a party that have left us undeveloped. It’s time for us to
believe that we have leaders we can trust. APC does not discriminate
based on tribe and religion, and we believe that with APC, Nigeria will
regain its status. Kaduna must learn from what happened in Nasarawa in
2011.”
Leader of ACN and former governor of
Lagos State Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said the event was the first of its
kind in the history of the APC, adding that it was an indication that
there would be change in the area come 2015.
Tinubu, whose speech was read by a
former Minister of Labour, Musa Gwadabe, said, “We are sure that APC
will take over the leadership of this country in 2015. I urge the
people of Southern Kaduna to stick to their resolve for change.”

ReplyDeleteAll these old men in govt, why not give the youth the chance to rule this country? I believe that Nigeria will be better if youths were to occupy all the positions in this country rather than these old men that don't want to leave their seats.They keep on doing the same thing every year no change, cost of living is going high everyday , corruption everywhere, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer.
ReplyDeleteemex:babanyanki:mike:It‘s really unfortunate how some of you idiots, intentionally decide to distance yourself from the simple truth.It really hurts me deep inside to see how some of you hypochrites with no little conciense continue to sell millions nigerians into slavery,starvation,unemployment,prostitution, sending millions into criminal activities and into their early graves with your selfish ideals and foolish reasoning for a very little and unprofitable gain.You idiots has noting to hold against the gentleman (gen buhari), all this rubbish and baseless talks and claims of yours, are notting but a cheap blackmail with foolish and selfish intention to tarnish his image, his good names and intentions, which i‘m pretty sure will never go well with the majority citizen of this great country.And for the issue of boko haram i‘m sure (late gen azeeza has clearify us on that) but if you dommies still dont understand then i advice you idiots not to hesitate to ask your “mumu“ president bcos he made a clear and understandable statement of knowing who are boko haram and having them in his cabnet and every sector of his govement,i‘m also sure he in better position to know and to tell the nation who there sponsors are? So you brainless idiots should stop deciving yourself and some few illitrate nigerians about boko haram!
ReplyDeleteTarauni, u dont need to insult anybody because of Buhari. GOD ALMIGHTY is already with him and his enemy PDP that sponsors cheap blackmail on him is already a house divided against itself about to fall. So leave Emex , Legacy and the rest. we shall see 2015.
ReplyDeleteTarauni its only a frustrated brute like you that will disrespectfully insult people for expressing their opinion.
ReplyDeletexeextwax:ur words nd dat of ur fellow dogs re jst words for expressing one‘s opinion while mine were nottin but insults, and u tink u re just nd fair in ur judgement. Oh xeetwax, ur judgement stinks and it‘s like u re passing ur judge from a beer palour, in it a teak cloud of smoke hung in the air.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need neither the present or any of the past leaders, what we need is the 'Dawning of a New day leader' our past and present leaders do not have mission nor vision, they should laid down their old political power and mentality for a fresh blood to come in for we need a 'Nigeria Need a Great Change!!! God help us!.
