Barely 48 hours to Nigeria's presidential election, The Presidential candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Rafiu Salau Thursday stepped down for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, Salau said he is stepping down for Buhari to save the country’s democracy from one party system which he said encourages dictatorship.
He said: “The PDP had been in power for 16 years, and it has tried its best. No matter how good the performance of PDP, you need to vote for another party before you can know that you always get a better performance when you create a competition among the parties.
“One party system takes away democracy from the owners, and denies them the right to use their democratic system to determine the level of the national development. No matter how good the performance of one party system, it cannot perform 10 percent of a democratic system with at least two strong parties that make the people to have the opportunity to control their democracy”.
He called on his supporters and all the party members to vote for Buhari on March 28 presidential election, saying Buhari is the candidate of all the democrats who will bring the desire the country have been yearning for change.
“It is your responsibility to vote for another party that will also executes its program. This is the only way the country can move forward like other democratic countries that have the control of their democracy. You need to create competition among the parties so they can always go back to their drawing board to redesign their program for your benefits.
“I urged all of you the 68 million voters, should vote for Gen, Buhari the candidate of all the democrats who will bring change. Vote APC. Show the world that you are in control of your democracy,” he said.
