The Peoples Democratic Party has welcomed the
emergence of former Military Head of State, Maj.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), as the
Presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives
Congress to the 2015 general elections.
It recalled that this would be the fourth time
Buhari will be contesting in the presidential
election.
The party, in a statement by its National
Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said that
on each of the three previous occasions, Buhari
failed to articulate a vision of the future that
was acceptable to Nigerians.
He said, “On each occasion, his brand of politics
was rejected across Nigeria. Apart from changing
to a dinner suit, Buhari, has not changed the
tired ideas and provocative utterances that
Nigerians rejected in previous elections.
“We hope that this time around, Buhari will
conduct a campaign that is issue-based and
devoid of ethno-religious sentiments.”
Metuh said he was still convinced that the PDP
remained the only truly national political party in
Nigeria, a platform on which he said all
Nigerians could pursue their legitimate
aspirations.
He said President Goodluck Jonathan had a
genuine record of accomplishments on which to
run, which should earn him a second term in
office.
