APC presidential candidate Gen. Buhari addressed leaders
and elders of the APC today Feb. 17th at the Shehu Musa
Yar'Adua centre in Abuja. Below is the text of his address...
The National Chairman Chief John Oyegun, thank you
very much for your speech. Leaders and elders of our
party, I want to join the Chairman in welcoming you
all to this meeting. In the last two months, we have
travelled the length and breadth of this country, we
have heard the cry of our people and we have told
them that we hear their cry – the cry for change.
As you are all aware, our country is passing through trying
times imposed on us by the bad PDP administration. The
imminent change in answer to the yearnings of our people
has been delayed by the postponement of the February
14th, 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 are 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 28th and April 11th with a convincing
majority. We should aim to achieve a victory that will be
beyond dispute and proceed to form the next government
and start work on the task of rebuilding our beloved
country.
Our eyes must be on the objective to build a great society
that works for all of us. A country where every child has an
equal opportunity to get an education, where every young
Nigerian who needs a job can find one. Where the sick are
looked after and senior citizens are provided for. A country
which gives value to human life, where the welfare and
security of all is a national priority and corruption is
defeated.
However, I must not fail to mention at this point, one issue
which has become topical in the last few days and that is
the worrisome revelations by Capt. Sagir Koli about how he,
a serving officer at that time, was deployed, with other
serving officers, some more senior in rank to work with key
politicians of the PDP to rig the Ekiti elections. Up till now,
there has been no official denial of this most unfortunate
event. It 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
similar roles in the March 28th and April 11th elections. Let
me reiterate once more that our security services have
serious constitutional responsibilities to the people of the
nation and so their importance to the health of the country
cannot be under estimated. It is therefore imperative that
their leaders must not drag these invaluable institutions
into the realm of partisan politics.
I personally and, am sure, all Nigerians, have tremendous
respect for our security services. I therefore urge strongly
that they stick to, and concentrate on, their constitutional
duties, otherwise they stand the risk of becoming part of our
already complicated national situation.
I am deeply encouraged by the very high degree of
cooperation and commitment to our common purpose of
changing Nigeria for good that you all have exhibited in our
campaign. I have noticed many of us embarked on our
campaign trips without carrying a change of clothing
hoping to return home the same day only to spend the night
on strange beds because the dynamics of the campaign
required that they spend the night away from home. You
have ignored in some cases personal health challenges and
given yourself to the campaign effort just to be part of the
movement for change.
There are some of you who lost in the various primaries to
choose candidates for our party during these elections and
rather than being disappointed you have thrown your
energies and resources to the campaign not minding your
personal losses. And there are others who have been made
mind boggling offers by our opponents in a bid to break our
ranks and curtail our momentum in the march to change
Nigeria for good, yet you have chosen to be on the side of a
cause that is just.
I therefore appeal to you all party leaders and faithful not to
rest thinking that all is won. Six weeks is a long time and
we do not know the plans of the other side but with our
strong resolve we will prevail.
Therefore let us keep our eyes on the ball. Let us work as
we have never done before, and let us watch and help each
other. The days and weeks ahead will be tough. Our resolve
will be tested and all kinds of evil tricks will be on display.
But do not despair. The goal is in sight. Change is coming.
The people of Nigeria will prevail. God has destined Nigeria
to be a great country. We shall overcome and Change shall
be achieved.


God bless you all, God bless the APC and may God bless
the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you.
General Muhammadu Buhari GCFR

(Presidential Flag Bearer of the APC, 2015)

**chanting some incantations...**

Those who support Goodluck Jonathan and his retrogressive gangs in the nest of killers, simply because of their hunger for stomach infrastructure and "some form of security" will be shamed as from May29.

Beautifully crafted words. You can't but admire this man. Come March, I hope he's confirmed as our new president. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Our God is faithful to us. Thank You Jah. God bless Nigeria.
