I Was Scared Of Contesting 2015 Elections, Says Buhari by Nobody: 1:16pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari says the outcomes of the
three elections he contested in the past almost discouraged
him from participating in the 2015 poll.
Buhari contested and lost presidential elections in 2003,
2007 and 2011.
Commending leaders of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) for the role they played in ensuring the victory of the
party in the last election, Buhari asked them to drop their
differences to enable the party achieve its campaign
promises.
He said his administration is determined to fulfill all the
three basic promises of addressing security, economy/
employment and corruption, which it made in its manifesto.
“No matter the level you are, drop your influence so that we
can help achieve the manifesto – security, economy,
employment and corruption- because if we don’t kill
corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria,” he told APC
chieftains during the breaking of fast at the presidential villa
in Abuja on Tuesday.
“We have to ensure that people we bring forward are those
that will move the society forward.
“I always like to go down the memory lane to show how
lucky we are as a political group.
“At no stage was the decision taken by chance, it was all
deliberate. The leaders of the parties felt the only way to
wrest power from the PDP was for us to come together.
“I, in particular, was scared after previous failures of the
elections of 2003, 2007 and 2011.
“We dissolved our various parties to form APC, then we
applied to INEC, for once I was grateful to INEC.
“We had gone with nine people to INEC to apply and INEC
advised us that we needed at least 25 people to form a
political party.
“We were able to go back and raised 35 members across
the country and then successfully registered the party.
“INEC then informed the federal government that we have
met the requirements hence we cannot be denied
registration.
“Many doubting Thomases said merger had never
succeeded in Nigeria but here we are.
“I went into this long explanation so that you will appreciate
how far we have come and for a society as ours, if we
respect the constitution, then all the greed and problems will
be a thing of the fast.” https://www.thecable.ng/buhari-scared-contesting-2015-election |

LIES!! Baba I can bet u weren't scared one bit. U were only blood thirsty. Seeing dat u had run out of blood of ur 2011 victims, u decided to take anoda short to cause mayhem and replenish ur bloodbank. But God used GEJ to avert ur evil plans. That's the more reason why ur confused at the moment cos u never dreamt of been President. U only contested to cause violence and death as u have always been doing!!! God will judge u!! |
