Buhari made the appeal on Wednesday in Katsina during mobilisation tour to urge his supporters to collect and register for the new permanent voter cards being issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“I hereby appeal to all Nigerians, especially my supporters to register and collect their voter cards.
“I want the youths that have attained the age of 18 years to strive hard and register so that they can vote in 2015.
“I don’t want you to allow apathy and disenchantment arising from what happened in the past to prevent or discourage you from exercising your rights,” the News Agency of Nigeria quoted the All Progressives Congress presidential hopeful as saying during the tour.
He called on the APC youths’ wing to rise up from their slumber and protect their votes in 2015.
Buhari said the party was determined to prevent any form of political manipulation, especially rigging in 2015.
“I advised all Nigerians to shine their eyes and prevent any form of political mischiefs by the opposition.
“The APC is the party to beat in 2015 and that the party that will not take chances during the elections.
“We are going to come out en mass and ready to defend our votes in all the nooks and crannies of the nations,” he said.
The former head of state advised the people of Katsina State and the nation in general to unite and change the present administration.
He said the present government in the country had failed due to its inability to provide adequate security of lives and property. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
