Now we have a number one contender with President Goodluck
Jonathan and it’s none other than Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.), who won the All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidate on Thursday.
Together, the two candidates will go head to head in the 2015
general election.
Buhari first had a shot at the Presidency in 2003 against Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo. In 2007, he ran against Umaru Yar’Adua
(now late).
His emergence for the fourth time as a presidential candidate
was welcomed by the APC national leadership, delegates and
aspirants. One of the defeated aspirants, Okorocha, described
him after the official announcement of the results, as “the man
capable of chasing away Jonathan in 2015.”
Now we bring you our ten best statements from both parties:
Goodluck Jonathan
1. I promise, I will not fail our great nation, Nigeria.
2. These last four years have not always been easy, but
through it all, my wife has effortlessly taken care of our home.
3. We initiated Debt Relief, the Amnesty Programme, the
Presidential Jobs Creation Board, Power Sector Reforms and
the National Infrastructure Master-plan; the Nigerian Industrial
Revolution Plan, the National Automobile Policy, the Freedom
of Information regime, the Nigerian Mortgage Refinancing
Company, and the Infrastructure Bank, amongst others.
4. Has change not come to our railway system?
Has change not come to our airports?
Has change not come to our roads network?
Has change not come to our agricultural sector?
Has change not come to our electoral process?
Has change not come to Almajiri education?
Is change not coming to the power sector?
What we need today is to consolidate on our gains in order to
secure our future.
Our focus now must be on the future and not on the past. We
have challenges but we are determined to overcome them.
And this we will.
5. These last four years, my priority has been in building a
strong and stable economy. We have created the enabling
environment for businesses to thrive. These are essentials for
securing Nigeria’s future.
6. I believe that together as a people and with God on our
side, we shall defeat terror and emerge an even stronger
nation.
7. Nigeria is not a land of despair. We are a people who show
commitment and unity of purpose. Just look at how we stood
up to the Ebola Virus Disease. We are a hard-working nation.
And we will go from strength to strength.
8. Our best days are before us, not behind us. We must
continue to move forward.
9. I will work to secure Nigeria’s future. I will serve with
humility and moderation, with simplicity and forthrightness;
with openness and inclusiveness, and with firmness and
strength. I urge all Nigerians to support me, to finish what we
started together.
10. Fellow citizens, what we need, more than anything else, is
to secure our country’s future, by building, and not by
destroying.
Muhammad Buhari:
1. Christian and Muslim, Southern and Northern, rich and poor,
young and old, man and woman. We are all citizens of
Nigeria. There is no dividing line among us that I care
to honour. Either we advance as one or fail altogether.
2. Preserving the nation’s future is a scared obligation to all
of us in this party.
3. We will return Nigeria to a position of international respect
through patriotic foreign policy.
4. Shall we at home continue to live in a condition where the
Power Holding Company and its successors seem only to
have the power to hold us in darkness?
Shall we continue in a situation where 250 of our daughters
have been abducted and the government has been unable to
rescue them or provide credible information about what steps
they are taking?
Shall we live in a nation where several people were trampled
to death in search of jobs in a stadium and yet no one has
taken responsibility for the tragedy?
Shall we live in a nation where the ranks of the poor swell and
their poverty increase while the consorts of the powerful enjoy
unprecedented wealth?
The lives of the poor are bled dry while those of the powerful
soak in excessive abundance. My answers to these questions
are “No, No, No, No!” It is time to close this demeaning
chapter in our nation’s history.
4. I ask that you join this effort, not for me, but to establish a
better land for all of us. I understand and accept the hard
challenge ahead. When all is said and done, let it be written
that Muhammadu Buhari gave his all for this nation.
5. We will choose the best Nigerians for the right jobs. Our
government will be committed to the cause of the common
man.
6. We will strive to attack poverty through broadly-shared
economic growth and attacking corruption through impartial
application of the law
7. Agriculture remains the backbone of the economy. Our
government, when elected, will establish an agricultural policy
that provides farmers a dignified living through improved
inputs, improved extension services, access to credit and price
support mechanisms.
8. We shall institute just policies that afford people the dignity
of work and pay them a living wage for their sweat and toil.
9. No longer shall illegal flows of massive sums leave these
shores to finance other economies. While our people languish
in poverty, we effectively give financial aid to nations that is
not justified. I am sick of this. It must stop. The money saved
will finance jobs, health care and the provision of social safety
net for the needy, weak and vulnerable of our land.10. We will
be a compassionate government, for out of compassion arises
the truest forms of wealth and progress a society can attain.
