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 football.
He enjoined party leaders, supporters and members to
avoid mistakes that could cost the party the elections by
remaining resilient because their patience would 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 had
heard the cry for change which had become a common
refrain among Nigerians.
He noted that it was common knowledge that the country
was 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 14, 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 28 and April 11 with a convincing
majority.”
The APC candidate enjoined party members to aim for
and achieve a victory that would 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 was “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 and 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.”
In his first reaction to the alleged use of soldiers to rig
the Ekiti governorship elections, Buhari described the
revelations made by Captain Sagir Koli as “worrisome.”
He also said the fact that there had yet to be an official
denial of the most unfortunate event, “makes me wonder,
in the circumstances that led to shifting of the date of
the Federal elections, whether the security services are
even now being prepared to play a similar role in the
March 28 and April 11 elections.”
The retired General enjoined Nigeria’s security services
to remain committed to their constitutional responsibilities
to Nigerians and to avoid the temptation of allowing
themselves to be dragged into partisan politics.
While stating that he had tremendous respect for the
security services, he enjoined the hierarchy of the military
to stick to and concentrate on their constitutional duties
to avoid further complicating our national situation.
Buhari commended members of the APC for making the
requisite sacrifices which culminated in the momentum,
which he said, the party was enjoying.
Earlier, a prominent leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, had likened milestones recorded by the APC
within its short lifespan to bringing down the Berlin
Wall.
He specifically expressed gratitude to Buhari for leading
the party to avoid the booby trap set by the PDP.
Tinubu said, “We have to be further vigilant. Thank
God that our presidential candidate is now more
democratic and more obedient than ever before. The booby
trap set was for our supporters to react (to the
postponement) violently so that they will declare a state
of emergency but he (Buhari) led us from that trap.
“The PDP government is desperate to cling to power; we
are determined to take power from tyrants. No one will
serve you power, the determination is yours. We know
now that they have been unable to achieve the violent
booby trap.”
Tinubu congratulated the Osun State Governor, Ogbeni
Rauf Aregbesola, for finding a “panacea for the PDP
rigging machine” in Osun State. He said the party
could benefit from his experience in the general elections.
The Director of the APC Presidential Campaign Council
and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, who gave
a rundown of the party’s campaign so far, urged party
members to pay attention to the polling booth because
“that is where rigging starts from.”
