ADDRESS BY GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI GCFR TO LEADERS AND ELDERS OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVE CONGRESS (APC) AT THE SHEHU MUSA YAR’ADUA CENTER – ABUJA ON TUESDAY 17TH FEBRUARY, 2015
STAY THE COURSE

The National Chairman Chief John Oyegun, thank you very much for your speech. Leaders and elders of our party, I want to join the Chairman in welcoming you all to this meeting. In the last two months, we have travelled the length and breadth of this country, we have heard the cry of our people and we have told them that we hear their cry – the cry for change.
As you are all aware, our country is passing through trying times imposed on us by the bad PDP administration. The imminent change in answer to the yearnings of our people has been delayed by the postponement of the February 14th, 2015 elections. Our patience and resilience will be tested in the days ahead. We must pass this test. In a time like this, which in football analogy can be referred to as extra time, we must avoid making costly mistakes. In the weeks ahead, I would like to implore you to remain true to the vision – to build a country that works for all of us and not just for the few. To rescue and stabilise our nation from the hands of plunderers. On this, I believe we are all agreed.
The important issue today is that we must use the next six weeks that have been imposed on us, to re-charge and re-focus on our goal. The goal is to win the elections now slated for March 28th and April 11th with a convincing majority. We should aim to achieve a victory that will be beyond dispute and proceed to form the next government and start work on the task of rebuilding our beloved country.
Our eyes must be on the objective to build a great society that works for all of us. A country where every child has an equal opportunity to get an education, where every young Nigerian who needs a job can find one. Where the sick are looked after and senior citizens are provided for. A country which gives value to human life, where the welfare and security of all is a national priority and corruption is defeated.
However, I must not fail to mention at this point, one issue which has become topical in the last few days and that is the worrisome revelations by Capt. Sagir Koli about how he, a serving officer at that time, was deployed, with other serving officers, some more senior in rank to work with key politicians of the PDP to rig the Ekiti elections. Up till now, there has been no official denial of this most unfortunate event. It makes me wonder, in the circumstances that led to shifting of the date of the Federal Elections, whether the security services are even now being prepared to play similar roles in the March 28th and April 11th elections. Let me reiterate once more that our security services have serious constitutional responsibilities to the people of the nation and so their importance to the health of the country cannot be under estimated. It is therefore imperative that their leaders must not drag these invaluable institutions into the realm of partisan politics.
I personally and, am sure, all Nigerians, have tremendous respect for our security services. I therefore urge strongly that they stick to, and concentrate on, their constitutional duties, otherwise they stand the risk of becoming part of our already complicated national situation.
I am deeply encouraged by the very high degree of cooperation and commitment to our common purpose of changing Nigeria for good that you all have exhibited in our campaign. I have noticed many of us embarked on our campaign trips without carrying a change of clothing hoping to return home the same day only to spend the night on strange beds because the dynamics of the campaign required that they spend the night away from home. You have ignored in some cases personal health challenges and given yourself to the campaign effort just to be part of the movement for change.
There are some of you who lost in the various primaries to choose candidates for our party during these elections and rather than being disappointed you have thrown your energies and resources to the campaign not minding your personal losses. And there are others who have been made mind boggling offers by our opponents in a bid to break our ranks and curtail our momentum in the march to change Nigeria for good, yet you have chosen to be on the side of a cause that is just.
I therefore appeal to you all party leaders and faithful not to rest thinking that all is won. Six weeks is a long time and we do not know the plans of the other side but with our strong resolve we will prevail.
Therefore let us keep our eyes on the ball. Let us work as we have never done before, and let us watch and help each other. The days and weeks ahead will be tough. Our resolve will be tested and all kinds of evil tricks will be on display. But do not despair. The goal is in sight. Change is coming. The people of Nigeria will prevail. God has destined Nigeria to be a great country. We shall overcome and Change shall be achieved.

God bless you all, God bless the APC and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you.
General Muhammadu Buhari GCFR
(Presidential Flag Bearer of the APC, 2015)

When the time comes, don't just cast your vote, do it with good judgment. But if the time never comes, be prepared to get on the streets in peaceful demand for an end to this kleptocracy. An onlooker in the face of tyranny is either a traitor or a coward.

If you want to deceive an Igbo man just add "Azikwe" to your name..

Bigots!

I love the way you diminsh his name with lower case..

timi0103:
Sometimes I wonder how money has manipulated Dr. Reuben Abati... femi fani kayode has been corrupt since his early days.

Jonathan keeps getting wrongest advices ever. As former President Olusegun Obasanjo rightly put, GEJ is reigning and not ruling cos he doesn't even have full and autonomous control of the service chiefs. Little wonder the coordinating minister's stance and speech on economic policies are significantly different from that of Mr. gej.

Corruption has been glorified, celebrated and magnified under this democratic dispensation. Ain't y'all ready for change in Nigeria? I think change is imminent.

And you with certifcate,tell me someone in your bloodline that has achieve and sacrifice as much as the General did for Nigeria..

This man started sacrificing for the Nation from 18years of age.

Your fathers and uncles were hiding under the table when these men were defending the Unity of Nigeria

For the Goofball OP slandering General an illiterate..You lack the intellectual acuity to call a Graduate of one of the best Military academy in the world..

I listen to the interview live..we all have a peculiar accent even with his thick hausa accent I felt the honety and passion to save Nigeria in his speech..

Truth is self-evident. Facts do not need debates. All the propaganda in the world cannot make a lie true. What is Right, like Goodness, uplifts. Evil depresses, even to one who pretends they are hardened.

You can keep spreading the lies and attacking his personality but that won't stop people from loving the amiable and incorruptible General

The same Academy GMB attended ..And some people will see say he is an illiterate

NDA cadet Noel Moses winning the BEST ALLIED CADET AWARD at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, U.K..(He was selected to represent Nigeria at Sanhurst completing his final year at NDA in Sandhurst)

No!

But books can provide what you will eat for life.

PAGAN9JA:
Can we eat books?

Every tribe as a particular accent..F replaces P in the hause phonetic system that's the reason he always say "Hay Fee C"

The most important thing you won't deny his the Honesty and Passion in the Accent.

If Nigeria don't kill corruption,corruption will kill Nigeria ~GMB

Sagytarius:
Oh thank goodness, he didn't say "Independent Nigerian Electoral Commission".
Rating: Confidence, Articulation and Composure very impressive. Just the accent issues.

That said, I still don't trust any of these politicians. They've proven not to have the plight of the citizens at heart.

#Continues to watch the political drama from my Den.

Maybe he didn't speak coherently because of his thick hausa Accent,but one thing you can't deny is the Honesty in the Accent..

chymystique:
Politicians and their Lies called Speech. Like they are the ones that wrote it... and some gullible Nigerians are already dancing to it like drunks. We all know on a normal day Buhari cant even speak coherently more or less this. Anyways he is just wasting his time cause he cant be the president of a united Nigeria again!

No Phone is allowed in Prison!!

The only thing they will be doing is "Regreting"

This guys have only one problem,"Truth" just because of money that you won't even take away when you die..

Jonathan has forgotten that one day he will die,one day he will leave there..Even if he rig and elect himself against the will of the people..One day he will leave there..4years will just be like 4months.

Jonathan has murdered sleep,he won't sleep,he has murdered peace he won't know peace..

He gave his word to John Kerry that the polls won't be shifted on 25/1/2015..

I don't have any personal beef with him or his ethnicty or religion above that we voted for him in 2011..He his power drunken already..My problem with gej is his Pretense,Lies,incompetent,cluesless and he his not stern to thieves..

He his d most lecherous being have ever know..

Each time they try to Bury Buhari.he keeps growing back like seed..Have been affected by his simplicity and true Humility

Sai Buhari!

Good Morning Compatriot,

I know how painful this can be knowing that we have built the momentum and victory was near before they stole the sacrosanct date of FeBuhari from us..But please never resolve to violence no matter the intimidation..He only expanded the Momentum..The postponement is a blessing in disguise for them to know the REAL Buhari and know who the REAL GEJ is..


And they said Buhari is the dictator?"

Destiny can only be delayed, but can't be Denied!!! You can ONLY change the DATE, but you can't change our MINDSET

Don't ever blame Jega..If you heard the tone of his voice yesterday and how he delayed the press conference you will know he was pressurise,you will understand he was forced to postpone the date by that Tyrant and Dictator hiding under Democracy

In 2011 he appealed to our emotions and we fell for it..We voted for him because we believe having coming from a poor background he will know how it feels to go days without food and walk around without a shoe..But one thing have come to understand about Jonathan is his ability to fake humility and that has been working for him for the gullible ones..He his a chronic liar that will say something but go back underground to do the opposite..He has failed us!!!

They were jealous of our slogan "FeBUHARI but now we going to MarchoutGEJ and March4Buhari

As from now each time you comment on this forum and other social media always end with #MarchoutGEJ and #March4Buhari..Let it sink into their sub conscious mind..I know some people will bash and insult you..Just keep saying because of those silent observers that are here to learn and are still on the fence...

We waited 6 years. We can wait 6 weeks. We will March4Buhari to Change Nigeria for the better


You can postpone a funeral because of your emotion for the deceased,but you can't restore life back to the corpse."

To Nigerians who stood on the side of justice , may your ways continue to prosper To those who chose to be ignoble, continue floundering
"


May God Spare our Lives till then..

One Love!!

God bless Nigeria
God bless GMB
God bless You

Odisco44:

Please can NTA use the money from all those political ads to transport their studio from 1785 into 2015?

#MarchonBuhari

#Team212VIP(Carolina hererra collection)

Classic..

Man must wack!!

So Bovi can crack jokes about how Nigeria needs to be fixed yet will queue behind #GEJ ?"

Keneking:
This is one Nigerian I respect in the past...but his romance with FDP and Jonathan has made me dislike him.

All the others in Nollywood in this light are under my watchlist. No doubt followership would decline for most of them. Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha comes to mind .

Mention someone in your Bloodline that has achieve and sacrifice more than GMB for Nigeria?

He deserves a second chance?..Prof Wole soyinka already categorised you e-PDP

Intellectually Blind
Bigot
Corrupt or enjoying from the corrupted

You are one of the reason abortion should be legalised..

AustineE1:
that is exactly why we must give him another four years to put things in order,he deserves a second chance....let the nomadic cattleman brought as the candidate of APC,go back to school and get his school cert. during the four yrs and God permit,he can contest for local govt chairmanship position of Daura LGA of katsina.

If insurgency last more than 24 hours ,the Government is involve ~ Gen Sani Abacha..

"The election is no longer between PDP & APC but between Nigerians and PDP""

Calling for Help!!!

Either way Febuhari or MarchonBuhari.

May God spare our lives till then

Assoiciation of Election Riggers!!

The audio recordings were analyzed and authenticated by Guardian consulting,an independent US based security consulting company..According to the report they used Forensic voice frequency comparison technology to identify all voices on the recording with audio available in the public domain..


In the audio, you can clearly hear Fayose breath, the way he paces the room. You can almost recreate a visual scene. That's how real its

"We are not alone in this thing,we have to be seen as been fair" ~Obanikoro

Ole!!! Rigger!!!

Goofball!!If u dey vex with d progress of BUHARI abeg go hug transformer, thou u might not DIE coz there is no light!
