2015: PDP Welcomes General Buhari To The Race

Press Statement
2015: PDP Welcomes General Buhari To The Race
Insists Jonathan Is The Best

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has welcomed the emergence of former
Military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari as the Presidential
flagbearer of Bola Tinubu's All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015
general elections.
This will be the fourth time General Buhari will be contesting in the
presidential elections. On each of the three previous occasions, he
failed to articulate a vision of the future that was acceptable to
Nigerians. On each occasion his brand of politics was rejected across
Nigeria. Apart from changing to a dinner suit, General Buhari, has not
changed the tired ideas and provocative utterances that Nigerians
rejected in previous elections.
We hope that this time round, General Buhari will conduct a campaign
that is issue based and devoid of ethno-religious sentiments.
We are convinced that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains the
only truly National Political Party in Nigeria, a platform on which all
Nigerians can pursue their legitimate aspirations.
We also believe that despite the distractions, President Goodluck
Jonathan has a genuine record of accomplishments on which to run and
deserves a second term. President Jonathan's re-election will guarantee
Unity and Stability for Nigerians. His second term will also deliver
prosperity to Nigerians.
Finally, in the words of our own President “The choice before Nigerians
in the coming election is simple: A choice between going forward or
going backwards; between the new ways and the old ways; between freedom
and repression; between a record of visible achievements and beneficial
reforms – and desperate power-seekers with empty promises.”

Olisa Metuh
