see why APC leader May Not Attend Buhari's Declaration.
Latest reports suggest that the leaders of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, may not attend General Muhammadu Buhari’s
official presidential declaration scheduled for 15 October, 2014.
According to a report published by Thisday, the former military head
of state was yet to secure a commitment from any of the leaders of the
party to attend his declaration.
There are speculations that the APC leaders may have decided to stay
away from Buhari’s declaration so as to ensure a rancour-free APC
presidential primary election.
It would be recalled that Buhari had stated that his insistence on
governing Nigeria is borne out of his desire for a secured and
egalitarian Nigerian society.
The APC presidential aspirant made the statement in Ilorin, Kwara
State, after his meeting with the state governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
Also, the Bauchi State Chapter of the Buhari Campaign Organisation
had pledged to buy nomination form for Buhari to contest the 2015
presidential election.
Danjuma Dabo, the Coordinator of The Nigerian Solution Network Group,
made the disclosure during a solidarity rally in support of Buhari.
Dabo said whether Buhari was willing to
contest in the 2015 polls or not, the organisation would source for fund
to foot both the campaign bills and purchase the nomination form for
him.
The coordinator of the group, who said the
N27 million fee for the purchase of nomination form was too high, added
that it was above Mr. Buhari’s financial capability.
Meanwhile, another APC bigwig and Nigeria’s ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar declared his ambition to contest for the presidency on 24 September.
