Barely 48 hours to Nigeria's presidential election, The Presidential candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Rafiu Salau Thursday stepped down for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari. Addressing journalists in Abuja, Salau said he is stepping down for Buhari to save the country’s democracy from one party system which he said encourages dictatorship. He said: “The PDP had been in power for 16 years, and it has tried its best. No matter how good the performance of PDP, you need to vote for another party before you can know that you always get a better performance when you create a competition among the parties. “One party system takes away democracy from the owners, and denies them the right to use their democratic system to determine the level of the national development. No matter how good the performance of one party system, it cannot perform 10 percent of a democratic system with at least two strong parties that make the people to have the opportunity to control their democracy”. He called on his supporters and all the party members to vote for Buhari on March 28 presidential election, saying Buhari is the candidate of all the democrats who will bring the desire the country have been yearning for change. “It is your responsibility to vote for another party that will also executes its program. This is the only way the country can move forward like other democratic countries that have the control of their democracy. You need to create competition among the parties so they can always go back to their drawing board to redesign their program for your benefits. “I urged all of you the 68 million voters, should vote for Gen, Buhari the candidate of all the democrats who will bring change. Vote APC. Show the world that you are in control of your democracy,” he said. Responding, National chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, commended the AD candidate for identifying with Buhari, and urged those who are yet to decide on who vote to emulate Salau and support the APC presidential candidate.

posterity will judge anybody or group of people that is responsible for constant power outage in isolo, holy savior area in particular. all phcn officials and their staff, whether it is politically motivated or otherwise like the current issue of fuel hoarding by petrol stations around the area thereby causing artificial and unwarranted scarcity, the people were denied of power (which they paid for) and also petrol for their generators to use in their respective homes after work this warm period. As they keep the people in dark and penury, so shall their generation witness darkness up to the fourth. according to the irreversible law of nature, what goes around comes back around. he who holds me down holds himself, he who takes something from a child and raises his hand up, one day, he shall feel pain on the hand and brings it down while the patience waiting child takes back his ware jejely.
