Buhari campaigners emerge in Ondo

Former Head of State, Gen.Muhammadu Buhari

The Ondo State chapter of the Buhari Campaign Organisation has commenced its campaign for the emergence of Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2015 presidential election.

The group says it is committed to the realisation of Buhari’s presidential ambition and his bid to ensure change in Nigeria’s political future for the betterment of citizens.

State Coordinator, Mr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele, told journalists in Akure, the Ondo State capital, that there was need for all progressive minds to work together to save the country from what he described as “misrule of the ruling party at the national level.”

He said, “Nigerians within a certain age bracket readily agree that the Nigeria we see today is not the country of our dream. It is tragic that a country birthed with great human and natural potentials has today been plunged into the abyss of hopelessness. The situation today is even grimmer.

“While the APC has an array of qualified members who are eminently qualified to lead this nation, it is common knowledge that General Mohammadu Buhari possesses all the exemplary qualities in terms of competence, experience, integrity, discipline and humility.

“Above all, it is the considered opinion of millions that he also possesses the mass appeal with the electorate to defeat the candidate of the PDP in a free and fair election.”

The state coordinator urged party members and stakeholders to utilize their wealth of experience to ensure the success of Buhari at the presidential poll.

“For us in Ondo State, APC through its performance at the next presidential election must send a strong signal that we are the choice of the people to take over from an inept and rudderless government that has been fostered on the state and nation at large for the past 15 years,” Oyedele added.
