The vice presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Tunde Bakare, said his party can defeat President Goodluck Jonathan at the April presidential election.

He told party supporters at a National Executive Committee meeting, over the weekend, that the wind of change blowing across the world will surely be experienced in Nigeria during the elections.

The party flags off its presidential campaign in Kaduna today.

Mr Bakare said defeating Mr Jonathan will be easy because he has not spent up to one year in office.

“There is a wind blowing across the planet. It is blowing everywhere right now. That wind simply says, the will of the people wrestles the power of incumbency.

We have seen it demonstrated in Tunisia, we have seen it demonstrated in Egypt, it is blowing across the World, it is shaking even Libya to its foundation. And these are entrenched places of power of incumbency. Our present president has not been there for one year so his own will be easy to dismantle,” the vice presidential candidate, said.

Mr Bakare asked leaders of the party to unite ahead of the elections, stressing that “by the grace of God, by the will of the people, by our collective hard work and co-operation, by refusing to let anything divide us, by the power of our concentration, by the time 2011 elections are over, the rest is victory.” The clergyman pledged absolute loyalty to his party’s presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, and noted that they cannot afford to lose this opportunity to rescue Nigeria.

He noted that, “The purpose of this afternoon’s meeting and subsequent meetings, is the great opportunity we have to rescue our nation, to salvage our nation and to ensure that the Nigeria that works, comes into manifestation in our life time.”

Mr Bakare solicited the support of party leaders, as CPC begins its nationwide campaigns today, insisting that the party wants outright victory at the polls. “It is doable, it is possible, it requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice on our part, that together, if we remain focused and undivided, we will accomplish it and those who think it is impossible, will find out how we did it,” Mr Bakare said.
