Buhari says PDP will destroy Nigeria

A presidential aspirant on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.), on Wednesday said the ruling

Peoples Democratic Party would destroy the
country if it was not stopped in the 2015
elections.
Buhari said this while addressing party delegates
that would vote in the APC presidential primaries
slated for December 10 in Calabar, Cross River
State.
He said the country had lost so much in the last
15 years that the PDP had been in power.
He said, “We have lost so much. What has
become of the Nigeria Airways, our shipping
lines, railways among others. Infrastructure is
going down and also the rising level of
insecurity.
“The PDP has failed badly in its 15 years of rule
so far. Everything is going down in spite of all
the money. What are they doing with the money?
“We must stop the PDP from destroying this
country. If we don’t get rid of the PDP, the PDP
will get rid of Nigerians. We are fed up. Whatever
your sentiments let us work together and rebuild
this country.”
He urged the people to get their permanent voter
cards to enable them to vote next year.
“Make sure you get the PVC, because it is only
with it that you can vote out the PDP,” he said.
He solicited the support of the delegates, saying
that he would do his best if voted to be the next
President in 2015.
Buhari lamented the menace of Boko Haram in
the north-eastern part of the country, adding
that the activities of the sect had nothing to do
with religion.
In his comment, the state Chairman of APC,
Pastor Usani Usani, described Buhari as humble,
disciplined and intelligent.
He said Buhari’s coming to the state proved that
he had not taken the state for granted given that
he was not the only one seeking to be president.
At Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, Buhari
said that if elected president, he would galvanize
the economy and cause a general turnaround in
Nigeria, even as he promised to provide gainful
employment for jobless Nigerians.
Buhari spoke during a visit to Rivers State to
solicit the support of the APC national delegates
in the state ahead of the party’s presidential
primaries.
Addressing the delegates at the Banquet Hall of
Government House, Port Harcourt Wednesday,
Buhari bemoaned the infrastructural decay in the
country and the poor leadership offered by the
ruling PDP.
“My message is just to remind all of us about
the condition we are in this country and that
next year, 2015 is another political watershed in
this country. If we allow by any means the PDP
to continue, I don’t think by the end of their next
term of four years even Nigerians would be able
to recognise their country, because all you need
to do is to compare what state we were in 1999
when the PDP took over the centre and most of
the states.
“In terms of infrastructure, we used Nigerian
Airways, we used Nigerian railways, we used
Nigerian Shipping line, even power at that time
was relatively stable, more stable than it has
been now after spending $20bn,” he said.
