The All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, on Saturday said the Peoples Democratic Party was Nigerians’ worst nightmare in the last 16 years of democracy.
He added that it would be the worst mistake Nigerians would do to re-elect the party in the forthcoming 2015 general elections.
Addressing supporters and party stalwarts at the North Central zonal rally held in Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital, Mr. Buhari said Nigeria was characterized by corruption and ethnic sentiments in the last 16 years of the PDP administration.
Mr. Buhari said Nigerians must make a choice and the right choice that would guarantee the future of the next generation.
“PDP has destroyed Nigeria,” he said. “They have made it a tradition to create poverty and crisis in the country.”
The APC presidential candidate said there was no reason why Nigeria should import petrol from the International market while its refineries are deliberately destroyed and kept idle.
“Before, we use to have airline companies, shipping companies, railways, and four refineries namely Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna and Lagos where our petroleum products were refined for domestic use and 22 depots but PDP has destroyed them and the country now has to import fuel,” he said. “Don’t make a mistake and vote PDP again because they have made it a tradition to destroy the country’s potential and image for selfish reasons.”
Mr. Buhari urged the electorate to vote APC in all elections. He also urged voters to ensure they wait behind and protect their votes after casting their ballot.
The Nasarawa State governor, Tanko Al-Makura, said PDP had caused untold hardship to Nigeria and must be shown the way out in the forthcoming 2015 general elections.
Mr. Al-Makura who is the North Central coordinator of the APC said the zone fully endorsed Mr. Buhari’s candidature with Plateau state taking the lead followed by five other states including FCT.
“Plateau, Benue, Kwara, Niger, Kogi, FCT and Nasarawa the birth right of the APC presidential candidate have resolved to vote for APC and to ensure that change is made in the general elections,” Mr. Al-Makura said.
He explained that the potential of Mr. Buhari had risen by over 80 per cent compared to 2011 and that APC would sweep the entire zone from the house of assembly to the presidential elections.
“I am not surprised because the track record of Buhari speaks for itself; a role model, a detrablised Nigerian, and anyone who means good for this country will surely vote for Buhari for the country to move forward,” Mr. Al-Makura said.
He said the time had come for change and that a vote for Mr. Buhari would not be a waste but a value for the country.
“Vote for Change between rule of law and impunity, between civility and brigandage, change between excellence and brutal governance, the time for change is now and the leader of that change is General Muhammadu Buhari,” Mr. Almakura said.

Shame! shame!! shame!!!...I Am not a politician....but a Nigerian citizen. My LITTLE advice... Vote not fight..... Buhari Child Zara Is Paying Over £40,000 / # 12million Naira as School Fees Developing Her Future and Career. *Jonathan's Children Have Being Moved To London For Studies and Residence while Developing Their Career and living In Affluence..... *Atiku Abubakar Children Are Abroad Schooling.... *Tinubu's Children Are Abroad Schooling and Living in Affluence, They Are All Developing and Investing In their Children To Continue To Rule Us After They Are Gone..... You are there As A Jobless Graduate Wearing APC and PDP Customized Vest and Polo, Chanting "Change" Holding Brooms and Carrying Umbrellas Chanting "Transformation " Killing Yourself, Fomenting Trouble and Constituting Nuisance to the Society because of Peanuts that can't make you a better person...... Even If You Have No Paying Jobs, Why Not Do Apprentice Or learn a Skill that will make You more Productive today in the Society. Why Not Do Volunteering Jobs Instead Of Looking For Big Pay Jobs!!!! Stop Being A Disgrace To Your Discipline, Stop Wearing APC Vest and Carrying PDP Umbrellas Because That is the Wish of Politicians For You... They Know If You have a Good Job, They Can't Use You As A Thug / Propagandist. If Buhari will Not Bring All His Ten Children To the Street For Campaign and Jonathan Will not Bring his Children and Blood Brothers To The Street For Campaign, Then You are a Disgrace To Your Family If You Don't Stop Masquerading Yourself As PDP and APC Agents, Because Up Till Now, I have Never Seen Buhari 's Children and Jonathan's Children On The Street Wearing APC Vest and Holding Brooms, Neither Have I seen Jonathan's Children Carrying The PDP Umbrella Even On Social Media Let Alone In the Street.... A Word Is Enough For The Wise....seek God's wisdom

GEJ all the way to 2019. Buhari the papa, you need to rest. After serving as military governor & head of state, you did not change Nigeria for good. Now that you are grandpa, you now realize Nigeria need change. We say make you go rest grandpa.

I agree with Mr. Almakura however, it depends on the citizens of Nigeria. It appears they are at a cross road and whatever decision depends on what they want. it's obvious that change is a very difficult decision hence people are afraid to change--good luck on the election.
