Mr. Dele Alake
The All Progressives Congress has urged
voters to end alleged misrule by the President Goodluck Jonathan
administration, saying Nigerians should vote for its presidential
candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
In a statement signed by the Director,
Strategic Communications Unit of the APC Presidential Campaign
Organisation, Mr. Dele Alake, the party urged Nigerians to “vote out 16
years of hunger amidst plenty, poverty in spite of oil wealth by voting
Muhammadu Buhari as the next president.”
The statement said, “In the week of
Nigeria’s landmark presidential elections, the world has been paying
glowing and deserved tribute to the founding father of modern Singapore,
Lee Kuan Yew, who died last Sunday. The passing of Mr. Lee bears a
poignant and direct resonance to all Nigerians.
One of his recurring lamentations was
with regard to what became of Nigeria’s lofty dreams and the great
potentials that our country had at Independence.
“Leadership does make a big difference in
the life of a nation. As we prepare to make what is perhaps the
greatest choice in a generation on the leadership of our country, we are
summoned to think large and to think deep; to challenge ourselves to be
part of charting a path to development and in the process build a truly
great nation.
“Having surveyed the avoidable descent of
our country from the heights of global respect into the abyss of
ridicule, our party, the All Progressives Congress, is offering all
Nigerians a choice to a part of re-making our collective destiny for the
better.”
