Former Nigerian military head of state and All Progressive Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, General Muhammadu Buhari has risen in self defence over his decision to reverse his decision not contest for elective office again.
Just before the 2011 general elections, Buhari publicly declared that the elections would be his last outing as a presidential candidate.
In a six-page letter written to selected notable Nigerians, Buhari explained that since his statement in 2011 he had been under tremendous pressure from his political associates and admirers not to leave competitive politics.
The APC chieftain holds the view that all indices of good governance have deteriorated in the country with the unpleasant consequences of insecurity, unemployment, power failure, falling educational and health standards, corruption and social injustice.
He said that in the face of such a situation one cannot say he is tired and wash his hands off responsibility Buhari said that after extensive consultations he has decided to seek the presidential ticket of APC, a fusion of major opposition parties.
For me I don't see any reason why Buhari should contest after been defeated several times. I think Nigeria don't need the old blood any longer but a fresh and vibrant man that can transform the country.
Nigeria need change but not certainly from Buhari... He should just stay away from competitive politics and act more as an Elder states man... That's my opinion.

Na today! Who has ever agreed that he went into politics of his own volition in Nigeria? They have always been drafted in not by their greed for the spoils of office but phantom teeming supporters and associates.
