I will contest presidency in 2015 – Buhari declares

After months of tittle-tattle and gossips over his political aspiration, leader of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Muhammadu Buhari has finally stated that he would not turn down the offer to become the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in 2015.

The retired General who was a guest on a live Hausa programme of DITV, Kaduna on Sunday, revealed that he still has the intention to run for the nation’s number one seat.

On the issue of sharing of national offices and selection of candidates for elective positions, the three-time contender for the presidency assured that APC will follow due process.

“Many people especially from my party are really disturbed. The joyful thing is that I didn’t say I quit politics. I will never quit politics as far as I am live. I only said that I will not present myself to contest but if my party members said they want me to remain in the race. I will.”



“Since I am in the new party as a member, if after consultations they included me among their aspirants, I will not reject their offer. This is what I want people to know. I want people to be patient with what we are doing now. They should allow the merger to succeed first. I am sure the new party leaders will know those that are relevant and saleable to Nigerians electorate,” he said.

Observers say Buhari’s declaration of interest will further unsettle the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, which is closely monitoring development in the new mega party.

Buhari has a demi-god status in the North, especially the eastern and western axis.

With millions of supporters spread across the different states. His party’s alliance with other top opposition platform will no doubt give the ruling PDP sleepless nights in the build up to the next general election.

With all due respect, Buhari has been unstable on the issue of whether he'll contest or not. From 2011 till date, he's been contradicting himself. Is this how he'll 'unstabilise' our country if elected?

Sai Buhari, please contest. Give us a break and lose. Btw, we don't want another crocodile tears on national TV...that would be better done in your village.. **PDP smiles**

hahahahaha, under CPC or APC? lol. PDP stays winning.

Sai Buhari/Tinubu 2015

Jamb question! has Jonathan being able to stabilize the country too? rubbish!

Buhari, come 2015,you surely have my votes. Sai Buhari!

Bloody fundamentalist.

He said he is contesting and if you don't like it, go hang yourself.

Muhammadu Buhari, the former cattle driver, is turning into a perennial presidential candidate in the jungle called Nigeria. I guess this shameless opportunist will even run for presidency from his grave.

u have been misled by the topic and i dont think u read d post. Buhari did not say he' must contest. But on condition if his party members allow him.

Bloody fundamentalist.

Is it Buhari you will not vote for or APC? Will you vote for another Muslim candidate? No.

There you have it. Vote for yours and we vote for our own too provided is Buhari or someone with some level of integrity.

Gen. Buhari would be a bad market for APC, because of the slaugther of NYSC members after the past presidential election is still fresh in the hearts of Nigerians. I would recommend one of the performing ACN governors and Sen. Ngige as vice president if they really want to have a run with the big PDP.

Misleading Title. He has not said anything different from what he said before.

.... same thing he said months ago.

Sai Buhari

Ok Sir! I hope he is contesting as the Chief Imam of the Central Mosque of Katsina Buhari with practical jokes shaa

Sai Buhari! No more badluck...

My 100% votes for Buhari 2015. We need a change in Nigeria. Someone with integrity and Buhari is d perfect example.

Ah, dont worry about his being 'unstable', lets concentrate on your GEJ that promised to serve one term and hand over to Igbos.

Buhari again? No.

..

The PDP propaganda machinery has gone into overdrive. Only impatient kids with little capacity to read and comprehend would be misled by this most mischievious topic. Nowhere in his statement did he say 'I will contest' as the baloon headed OP is insinuating.

2015 elections is over 2yrs away but you and your fellow band of thieves have already started pissing in ur pants over the posibility of having Buhari assume the No1 position in the land.

And as for sincerenigerian, I wanna ask, between Buhari and your pea brain master, who is more unstable? Your master kept bouncing around like a wound-up toy back in 2011 when asked about his ambition and he still does today.
I could vividly remember the media chat in 2011, when he was asked if he was going to contest or not, hear him: 'if I say I am going to contest now, PEOPLE
WOULD START FEELING ONE KIND'!!!! Trademark retardeen!
That person should be around some street corner in Bayelsa fixing bad tires!



That sed, should the gentleman decide to contest, he has my vote and that of many friends and neighbors of mine. It is high time we got rid of these virmins and cleptocrats that have been gangraping the country, afflicting her with all manners of STDs since '99!

LWKMD!

My belle wan burst with laff!

Sai Buhari
If you get the ticket,be rest assured you have my vote&that of my sphere of influence
I'd rather vote in an 'old senile' Buhari than a younger thieving incompetent Ebele Ali Baba Jonathan and his tribe of treasury looters

Join your hands together,contribute money like some of you did in 2011 ,I tell you and I lie not that Buhari can NEVER become president of this nation again .....

I only fear for the needless lives that will be lost when he loses cos that's his fate even if he contests hundred times !

miiraaj:

Hehehehe! You and your boss must be wetting your pants...

APC all the way!

'Mirage' indeed, you couldn't have named yourself better 'miiraaj' definitely by the time the election would be over come 2015, you will realize that all what you are seeing now is nothing but a 'mirage' becos Jonathan will still carry the day....keep dreaming, hoping in ur illusion

Odunnu: Under APC? Even if my Daddy, is your running mate, i'll vote against you.
Bloody fundamentalist.

I wanted to make the first comment on sighting this thread but unfortunately my heart jumped into my stomach and I fainted.

I was anticipating that APC will be a great alternative Party where the founding fathers will forgo their individual ambitions for promising younger performers, great achievers and captains of Industries to force PDP to change or invariable wrestle Power from PDP.

I will be disappointed if Buhari becomes APC Presidential Flag bearer.
