Nigeria Will Be In Trouble If PDP Wins – Buhari
All Progressives Congress
presidential candidate, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, (retd.), on
Saturday warned that Nigeria would
be in trouble if the Peoples
Democratic Party wins the 2015
elections.
Buhari said this while addressing a
campaign rally at the Michael
Okpara Square in Enugu.
He told the gathering that it would
be a mistake if they failed to vote
out the PDP.
“If you make a mistake to allow the
PDP to rule again for the next four
years, we will all be in trouble,”
Buhari said.
He stressed the need for people to
collect their Permanent Voter Cards
in order to ensure that the PDP was
voted out.
“What we need from you is to make
sure that you get your PVCs,” he
said.
Buhari added that “if Nigeria don’t
kill corruption, corruption will kill
Nigeria.”
Promising to invest in agriculture,
industries and security, the APC
presidential candidate distanced
Islam from the activities of the Boko
Haram sect.
According to him, the insurgency in
parts of the North is a case of
anarchy and terrorism.
He said, “For anybody to go and kill
people in churches, in mosques, in
motor parks and shout ‘Allah’, he is
saying what he does not believe.
“It is not religion, it is just anarchy,
it is just terrorism.”
Buhari promised that he would
“restart the coal industry” in Enugu,
and also ensure regular power
supply in the country.
He said the coal resources in the
state would be harnessed for power
generation.
Earlier, Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha, assured the people that
Buhari would stabilise the country,
if voted into office.
Okorocha, however, urged Buhari to
give the South-East one more state,
and also fund the construction of
the second Niger Bridge from the
federal budget, instead of the
current public/private partnership
arrangement.
Other projects which Okorocha
asked Buhari to execute in the
South-East include upgrading the
Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, to an
international status, and the
construction of the Onitsha-Enugu
and Aba-Ikot Ekpene roads.
The National Chairman of the APC,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, urged the
Igbo to vote for the APC, noting that
they (Igbos) had supported the PDP
for 16 years without anything to
show for it.
Former Anambra State Governor,
Senator Chris Ngige, in an address at
the event, said Buhari “will make
sure that nobody takes the money
that belongs to the people and put it
in his pocket.”
The Director General, Buhari
Campaign Organisation and Rivers
State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi,
reminded the gathering that
President Goodluck Jonathan was
not an Igbo man.
Speaking in Igbo language, Amaechi
challenged Jonathan to speak Igbo if
he claimed to be one with the Igbos.
The governorship candidate of the
APC in Enugu State, Mr. Okey Ezea,
was presented with the party’s flag
at the event, which attracted a large
turnout.
Ezea promised to provide free
education and free heath care
services to the people of the state if
he was voted to become the
governor.
