A former Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.), has promised to end insurgency and other forms of
insecurity in the country, if elected President under the
platform of the All Progressives Congress in the 2015
general elections.
The pledge is coming amidst rising insurgency by the Boko
Haram Islamic sect in the North-East and especially the
Friday’s attack on Kano Central Mosque
He also denied sharing money to delegates during his
recent visit to Imo State during his nationwide tour to meet
the APC delegates.
The Head (Media, Publicity and ICT) in Buhari Support
Organisation, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe, stated this in his
weekly brief on “GMB meet the party delegates nationwide
tour,” read to journalists on Friday in Abuja.
“At no time did GMB, all through this meet the delegates
tour, share money or lobby any delegate with money. As we
all know, a leopard can never change its spot. Friends and
sympathisers may have privately encouraged their
colleagues to attend the delegates’ meeting, certainly not
GMB directing or approving any monetary exchange, as
being falsely reported by some online media,” he stated.
In his nationwide tour to meet delegates, Buhari had visited
Abia, Bayelsa, Imo, Delta, Cross River and Rivers states,
where Governor Rotimi Amaechi described him as a
committed and focused leader whose watchword was
integrity.
Maduekwe said, “The summary of all the response and the
welcoming remarks by GMB at various state capitals can be
summarised. He made it clear that this country must first
be secured and efficiently and effectively managed if our
nation is to bounce back to normalcy for our people to
prosper. Leadership integrity must be the focused
watchword if we must salvage Nigeria once again.
“We recall that we fought a civil war without borrowing a
kobo. But now, despite budgeting well over 25 per cent of
the national annual budget to defence, we are borrowing
$1bn to prosecute insurgency. Yet, all we keep hearing is
the low morale of our fighting forces as they melt before the
rampaging ill-trained insurgents.
“A situation where about 20 LGAs of this country are under
an alien flag can no longer be tolerated. APC is ready to
turn the tide to bring Nigeria back into the fold of proud and
respectable community of African nations. Our watch-word
is: Securing our nation, prospering our people.”
He added, “One is worried to read about Nigerian soldiers
giving interview to foreign media on how under-equipped
they are as they face the insurgency. Effort by the National
Assembly to conduct hearing on such sad development is
hushed down. Same as the NASS hearing on the subsidy
scam which till this date has remained a mystery to our
general public.”
Buhari has also asked Nigerians to make sure their votes
count during the 2015 general elections.
Buhari spoke at a reception organised for him at the APC
secretariat in Enugu State on Saturday evening, where he
observed that soldiers engaged in the campaign against
terrorism and insurgency had complained of inadequate
weapons, despite the huge security budget, as well as lack
of effective leadership.
“Vote and make sure that your votes count,” Buhari told the
gathering, including leaders and members of the APC state
chapter as well as national delegates from the state.
He urged eligible voters to obtain the permanent voter card,
which he described as the “ammunition” to rout the Peoples
Democratic Party during the election.
The presidential aspirant noted that there was no point in
asking the people to come out to meet him if they did not
have voter cards.
Stressing the need to vote out the PDP in the coming polls,
Buhari said 2015 would be a very crucial year for Nigeria.
