Ahead of 2015 general election, Senator Sulaiman Nazif has cautioned the newly formed political party, All Progressives Congress (APC) not to field any candidate other than General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) if the party must win the presidential election.
Senator Nazif who represented Bauchi North Senatorial District between 2007 and 2011 told newsmen in Zaria that the youth wing in the country were rooting for Buhari to re-contest the presidential election in 2015.
He said even if internal democracy was to prevail, Buhari who was the three-time presidential candidate of one of the parties that formed the APC remained the best presidential material in the next general election.
Nazif said: “General Muhammadu Buhari was about 42 years old when he became the head of state. He was made head of state because of his past records as governor and as Petroleum Minister. When he was head of state, Nigerians appreciated what he did. And that is why we are calling on him to come back and re-contest the presidential election. Until he wins the election, we will continue to call on him to re-contest and re-contest.
“We, the younger ones, are saying that he should come out and re-contest; we say he should come out. I am one of the younger persons in Nigeria.
I am one of the greatest beneficiaries of democracy in Nigeria today, but we are insisting, appealing and saying that the mandate he contested thrice, he should come back to re-contest and claim the leadership he has been doing since when he was a youth because they didn’t allow him to finish it.
We will not rest until he agrees to come back and contest, we will work for him; protect his vote to ensure that he becomes the president of this country. “I can tell you that when Buhari was head of state, he left legacies behind, and when he was in the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), he helped the young people in the country.
All the professionals in Nigeria benefitted from General Buhari. “What I am trying to point out is that when we talk of internal democracy, General Buhari is a member of APC, he is a Nigerian, he was one of those that fought for the unity of this country, so he has the mandate to contest.
“He is one individual alive today in the history of Nigeria that has more than 12 million votes uninfluenced by money or anything, so if he contests again he will win.
I asked those who contested with Buhari whether they will contest again, and they said they will never contest again with him because of the voting margin.
“Today in Nigeria, there is nobody that can beat him in a fair and free election, I am a young man, I know what the man can do, I know the kind of overwhelming support he has, and we are talking about democracy, government of the people by the people for the people.
General Buhari is for the people; he is always for the masses. “So internal democracy is what will allow Buhari to emerge because he has the support, he is capable, he is fit, he is committed and he has the love of this country. He has the votes of the people.”
That failed,Nigeria president я̲̅ boko haram я̲̅ ACP president which one. If Ȋ̝̊̅§ Nigeria president sorry u guys should 4get it pls.
I like it when people express their personal opinion, that is democracy – freedom of speech in practice. Which one will Buhari bring that is not in practice? Is it sharia or Islamic democracy? Bros wake up, ds is Nigeria for christ sake. A country full of young and fresh youth. We don’t need old man who do not know anything about the latest swag to rule ds country again. You uncle Buhari start leading since he was 30 or 35, and at age 42 he was head of state, from governor to minister etc. What do he want to do again that he did not do when he was governor, minister or head off state? Bros wise up. He was busy preaching and going to mecca everyday and he forgot to save money and open refinery in his house. He want to come andd achieve all dat now. Tell him that we the youth say no no no no to Buhari and his intention to lead ds great country. You and ur fellow supporters of Buhari can create a country for him to lead or u make him the governor of ur state let him reform ur state and leave us, we are fine with Jonathan government. I don’t want to link him with boko haram but be careful cos Allah is watching u. We don’t need buhari again. Is he not tired to shame himself and the northerns? Since 1999 or 2003. Is a shame to all of u who still support him, can’t u people read the clear hand writing that we don’t need him? How many appeal have he made and non work out? Abeg abeg respect yourselves and rest
Waste of time for that so-called political party. Buhari is an Islamist. For he had said muslims should vote muslims and Christians go for christian leaders. We’ve not forgotten that. We too are wise just as he thinks he is.
Baba 70, u better go and rest if at all you will leave and sEe the 2015. Vampire blood sucking demon, the innocent people you have send your boys Boko Haram to slaughter will surly hunt you down. Come and rule indeed.
I wonder why this Housa’s will never think like humans(homo sapiens)! They think that only the north is Nigeria! Mtcheeww! If Buhari (disguised Boko Haram leader) ever become the president of Nigeria again, then I denounce Nigeria as my country! What’s the use of a father land that is being destroyed by thesame fathers! Am a northerner but Fuck buhari and his mother fucking followers. If you want to condemn me for this, then Fuck you too.
please nigeria belongs to all of us.north should rest their greed for power.when u were in power nobody made issues for you.you are not the ones born to rule.every nigerian is born to rule.as for buhari hes motives cannot be hidden and the judgement of God is determined against him.underage voting is a form of rigging,terrorising pple not to vote is also anoda form.so hes votes were heavily influenced.we know what we are doing.nonsense.its either buhari or noting my foot.is he God.very soon the motives behind this merger wil be exposed.

We ar all seeing wat is going on in diz country theves has taken over diz beautyfl 9ja of ours.
Buhari will have to lead his group 1st before leading this country as a president……………ur group BOKO Harms……….harming ur destiny.
I strongly blef most of u speaking alone tribal n sentimental line ar jst f**ckin fools who didn’t even kwn wat Buhari did wen he was in govtmt.jst talking bcoz ur montha f**ckin father or grandparents told u 2 do so.dat is y most of u ppl,youth n so called youth hanging in d street joblessly.Can’t u fools read d headline.ASUU Strike is Buhari dat cause dat one??I challenge all u f**ckin speakers against 2 jst name 5 achievements dat diz govtmt has don,bastards

Am sure you that south south man was not deaf when Buhari said openly that he will make Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ if he Buhari loses the 2011 election. He lost and since then insecurity steps in, till now serious distraction. Nigeria does not belong to the North it belongs to all Nigerians and we say categorically NO to Buhari the blood sucker to win 2015 election. The APC will lose woefully if Buhari is chosen as their presidemtial candidate come 2015. Note that Buhari would have kicked the bucket before 2015 election, cause every man that is troubling Nigeria by killing Gods children shall not be spared in the wrath that is coming speedily.
Nigerian Youths serious most of u r a disgrace to urselves, small issues u guys cnt critically analyse n make productive comments as solutions, all u can do is to insult n abuse pple based on religious or tribal sentiments, no wonder pdp doesnt wnt u to get proper n qualitative education so dat u continue bn used blindly, fools
BUHARI IS A GOOD LEADER.CHECK IT OUT.HE IS THE POOREST FORMER HEAD OF STATE IN NIGERIA BECAUSE OF HIS ANTI-CORRUPTION STANCE.
@south south youth! Why can’t you plan on how to rule nigeria by urself & u r calling dis rtd old man dat has nothing in agenda oda dan to get his own share of d national cake. Let’s watch & see what will happen since he really made dis government ungovernnable, God will deal him a blow b4 d election!
When ever I read anything about our beloved General Buhari I used to cry, just because of the way he has our only nation at his heart. ladies and gentlemen whether we like it or not Buhari is a man integrety and principles. Oh God may you give our beloved and die hard General Buhari opportunity to rule this nation again. Nobody can fool us again….Baba Buhari is what we want for now.
