Nigeria: As the Nigerian presidential election happens in few hours, the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari had recorded a 6-minute video talking to the supporters of APC and Nigerians, he said he can see the overwhelming support of Nigerians home and abroad screaming for change and he is not going to disappoint them. In the video he said :
There is a girl who donated all her savings because she believes in our campaign, the young men and women at our campaign rallies who ran at our motorcade screaming change.All Nigerians are tired with the status quo without exception
He also said that his government will be more accountable than the present government and that better ducation for students, also making sure they get home safely.
On Religion, he said :
There is no Muslim Nigeria or Christian Nigeria, No northern Nigeria or Southern Nigeria. There is only one Nigeria, a country where citizens continue to forge ahead despite challenges. A country we all boast about, both home and abroad.
I have always been part of one Nigeria, both as a military of civilian.In the course of the service, i have overseen the building of the refinery, and protect Nigerians from aggressive forces, both internal and external.
My time as head of state was not perfect, mistakes were made , some of you may not support me because of those mistakes, but i assure you, i hear the pains of everyone who experienced and do hardship, people like Lola, Adeyemi Adefulu, Tunde Thompson, who have been gracious enough to look beyond these mistakes and accept my offer of partnership of New Nigeria we can be proud of.
My appeal to you, finds it in your heart to do the same. As i said in Chatham house, being the leader at that time, i take responsibilities for those mistakes and which again standing before you as a converted democrat who has submitted and will continue to submit himself to a true democratic process.
Asking for partnership from the Nigerian populace, he said :
I talked about partnership, because it amounts to a great issue Nigeria will help to contend with, Leaders will require your commitment and cooperation. Our country is all time low, poverty and unemployment has reached unprecedented heights. Insecurity threatens the lives of and well-being of every single person within our borders.A situation that i myself have experienced directly.
I believe this country can be great again,I believe that with effective and transparent leadership, the eradication of corruption and the respect for the rule of law, things can change for the better.
I have served Nigeria with everything i have, without taking anything that i do not earn. If anybody has evidence that proved otherwise,i challenge them to present it.
About my person, Buhari said :
I will lead this country from the front. Your children will go to school and return safely. You will no longer be afraid in your own homes. The Naira in your pocket will be of greater value than it is now. Our economy will no longer rely on oil alone to survive. The corruption which has eaten deep in the primary gulf of our society will be a thing of the past.
Economic opportunity will be shared in an equitable manner across the country and will not be only for those close to the government. The youths will be gainfully employed, women like Taraba gubernatorial candidate, Senator Aisha Jummai Alhassan will continue to break new ground.
Appreciating the supporters, he said :
I will like to thank everyone who has been on this journey with us and thank to Nigerians who received us with open arms everywhere we campaigned.On the 28th of March and the 11th of April, use your PVC to get the desired change that will enable you and your children to be proud of this country once again.
God bless you and God bless Nigeria.
