General Buhari spoke at a rally in Kagoro, a few kilometres from Kafanchan, the political capital of southern Kaduna.
Southern Kaduna is considered by many as the backbone of the PDP in Kaduna State, giving bloc votes to the party since the return to civil rule in 1999.
At yesterday’s rally organised by the Conference of Opposition Political Parties, Gen Buhari assured the people that the APC will emerge winner of the 2015 election, pointing out that the issue of merger of opposition parties to engage the PDP has been on since 2007, championed by people who are determined to save the country from doom.
The former head of state who contested the Presidency on three occasions told the gathering that the coming together of the opposition parties under the All Progressive Congress (APC) is to ensure that the PDP is pushed out of power in 2015.
He said, “the issue of merger has been on since 2007 by people who are serious about saving the Nigerian state. We are coming together to get PDP out of site. This is absolutely necessary because the system needs to be stabilised.
“There is the need for us to come together, go back to our constituencies and save Nigeria democratically. This means that we have to make sure that the system conducts a very credible and free and fair election. And we are going to win the 2015 election.”All that we inherited before 1999 have all gone down the drain. We are hearing of stealing in the country of billions. There is outright theft by the ruling PDP,” Gen. Buhari said.
Nasarawa State Governor Tanko Al-Makura accused the PDP of using politics of deceit, money, religious bigotry and ethnic manipulation to divide the people for their selfish interest, pointing out that the PDP has brought more pains, hunger and poverty to the citizens of the country.
“We must salvage this country from the PDP. We must seize power from their hands because the PDP is devilish, and we are determined to fight the devil for the betterment of our people. We will uproot the PDP, because it is a party formed on deceit and lies,” he said.
The national leader of the ACN, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who spoke through a former Minister in the Obasanjo government, Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, asked the people to be firm and join the train of change for the rapid development of the country.
Former Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nasir el-Rufai and Senate Minority Leader, George Akume said “we shall soon announce the burial of the PDP come 2015. We are determined to ensure that we chase the gang of thieves out. This, we will achieve with our ballot cards come 2015.”
Former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibrahim I. Iko, expressed worry about those he said are unfit political leaders who have been allowed to lead the country.
He said, “We have allowed unfit politicians who divide us along religious line, for their personal and selfish interests. APC is a destiny and not a mistake; it must be geared towards saving Nigerians.”
