The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), on Tuesday likened the remaining weeks to the 2015 elections to Extra Time in a football match.
He enjoined party leaders, supporters and members to avoid mistakes that could cost the party the elections by remaining resilient because their patience will be tested in the days ahead.
Buhari said this at the joint leaders meeting of the party held at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
According to him, he, alongside leaders of the party, travelled the length and breadth of this country, and have heard the cry of change which had become common among Nigerians.
He noted that it was common knowledge that our country is passing through trying times which was imposed on us by the bad Peoples Democratic Party administration.
Buhari said, “The imminent change in answer to the yearnings of our people has been delayed by the postponement of the February 14th, 2015 elections. Our patience and resilience will be tested in the days ahead. We must pass this test.
“In a time like this, which in football analogy can be referred to as Extra Time; we must avoid making costly mistakes. In the weeks ahead, I would like to implore you to remain true to the vision – to build a country that works for all of us and not just for the few.
“To rescue and stabilise our nation from the hands of plunderers. On this, I believe we all agreed.
“The important issue today is that we must use the next six weeks that have been imposed on us, to re-charge and re-focus on our goal. The goal is to win the elections now slated for March 28th and April 11th with a convincing majority.”
The APC candidate enjoined party members to aim and achieve a victory that will be beyond dispute and proceed to form the next government and start work on the task of rebuilding our beloved country.
He maintained that the objective of an APC-led government is to build a great society that works for all, a country where every child has an equal opportunity to get an education, where every young Nigerian who needs a job can find one. Where the sick are looked after and senior citizens are provided for.
And most importantly, a country which gives value to human life, where the welfare and security of all is a national priority and corruption is defeated. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
