A leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and
senator representing Kwara central senatorial district in
the National Assembly, Senator Bukola Saraki, at the
weekend said none of the party’s presidential aspirant
for the 2015 election will leave the party after its
primaries.
“These are democrats, who have taken a decision that a
victory for any of them is a victory for all because they
have not seen the ambition as a do or die affair,” he
argued.
Kano State Governor, Dr.
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso;
former Head of State,
General Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd) former Vice-
President Atiku
Abubakar, and Publisher
of the Leadership
Newspapers, Mr. Sam
Nda-Isiah are aspirants
of the APC.
“We have had
discussions with them and if you talk to any of the four
of them, they will tell you that who ever emerges at the
primaries will be supported.
“Tell Nigerians that none of those four presidential
aspirants is going any where because we have all come
to stay and we have shed those that want to go off,” he
said.
“It is clear that what we are fighting for is what
Nigerians want. We are not doing what Nigerians don’t
want. It is only if it is about ambition of the country
today. No matter how we want to paint it or gloss over
it, if all of us as Nigerians want to be truthful to
ourselves, we know that things are not going on well.
“We know that this is not the Nigeria we all dream
about. For over so many years, some parts of Nigeria
are under siege. Or you see Nigerians becoming
refugees in neighbouring countries, is that the Nigeria
we dream about? Or is it APC that is causing that?
Before, they tried to use religion and ethnicity but both
Christians and Muslims towns and villages are being
attacked.
“What are we doing? What is being done? I always say to
people that it is not about Jonathan, whoever is the
president now whether he is a Muslim, Christian, from
the North or South and she is running a government
like this then the person has to go. If tomorrow the
president becomes born-again then it is a different ball
game. But we must talk about issues that is on ground
for now,” Saraki added.
