The emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as the flag-bearer of
the All Progressive Congress, APC, is a fatal error, the
Nigerian presidency has said.
Speaking in an interview with Channels Television on
Monday morning, the Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, said the
opposition party made a grave mistake at a time Nigerians
were clamouring for development and a dissociation from
anything or anyone that has anything to do with the
country’s past.
“When Major Buhari emerged as the APC flag bearer, I
knew that was a fatal error,” he said. “It’s a fatal error
because number one, Nigerians are looking for future
development, you know, a disengagement from everything
that has got to do with our past. You are looking at Major
General Buhari, Babangida, Abdulsalam, Obasanjo. These
are very respectable elders and leaders who have done
their best but they are a phase of our leadership that is
passing off.”
Mr. Okupe, a member of the ruling party, Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, said the opposition could not be
talking about change with someone who would remind
Nigerians of their gloomy history.
He said it was important to note that Nigerians needed to
make a clear decision between having a transformation
agenda that had worked and produced results and one
which, he said, did not have vision.
“For APC to have now brought, you know, part of our past
history that we are not so proud of and then you are
talking about change, you know, how can you make a
change with somebody who was part of our problem?” he
asked.
“We know that Nigerians are not stupid, you know, a clear
decision will have to be taken between having an agenda –
transformation agenda – that has worked, that has
produced and having listened, you know, Buhari has
spoken about three occasions – at his declaration, at his
inauguration, I mean, at his primaries. I have asked
people; nobody can remember anything that Buhari has
said.
“There is no vision, you know. The only thing that has
been told to us – not even by him but by other people – is
that Buhari has integrity and he is honest and he is
incorruptible which are also not true,” he said. “At the
appropriate time, these issues will be taken up.”
He also said he was sure his boss, President Goodluck
Jonathan, would defeat Mr. Buhari and win the 2015
general elections.
Mr. Buhari, a former Nigeria’s Military Head of State
emerged the presidential candidate of the APC on
December 10 following the party’s presidential primary
election that also included a former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar; Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha; Kano
State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and the publisher of
Leadership Newspapers, Sam Nda-Isaiah.
Mr. Buhari will be contesting against Mr. Jonathan at the
presidential election scheduled for February 14, 2015.

Rochas Okorocha of APC agrees that Buhari's time is gone. (Both are off the APC)

Hear Him:

But before I continue let me give honour to whom honour is due especially my colleagues. How happy am I to sit on the same table with my General, General Muhamadu Buhari who is today 73years old. As a former Head of State I pay my respect. . . . .. . . .but let me remind you that President Jonathan is 57years old, Barack Obama is 53years old, Rochas Okorocha is only 52 years old. It is obvious that responsibility has fallen on new shoulders.
