Why 2015 Elections Will Be Tough- Buhari

A chieftain of the All Progressives congress, APC,
General Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that the 2015
general election would be tough.
The former military head of state made the revelation on
Tuesday, at Lokoja township stadium, Kogi State, during
the formal reception of Kogi PDP decampees to the APC,
Vanguard reports.
Buhari, who is also a presidential aspirant under the APC,
urged party members to collect their voters’ card and
hold on to them. He pleaded with Nigerians to also vote
out those he termed “treasury looters,” and promised that
APC would provide free amenities and improved
infrastructures like water, electricity and improved
education system for Nigerians.
He further hinted that the 2015 polls are expected to be
tough as the APC is bent on taking over the government,
from councillor to presidency.
“The next fiv e months will be very tough. Next election is
going to be different and next year is going to be tough
because APC is ready for change in Nigeria. We will stop
corruption; no more will anybody put government money into
private pockets” Buhari said.
Speaking also at the event, the party’s National
Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, who received the
defectors accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of
giving Nigeria a bad name. He said Nigeria is terribly
asleep and is having a serious nightmare.
The party’s national chairman, who is also the former
governor of Edo State, further stated that Nigeria will
continue to experience nightmare except the ruling PDP
is voted out of power.
“There is hope for Nigeria if Nigerians wake up fast and vote
for APC which is becoming the fastest growing party in
Nigeria, and has come to remedy the ills meted on the
country” Odigie-Oyegun said.
Similarly, former Vice- President, Atiku Abubakar,
advised Nigerians to protect their votes, noting that
several elections have been rigged because voters failed
to protect their votes.
It would be recalled that the former head of state, Buhari,
on September 18, 2014, said his party, the All
Progressive Congress (APC) will put an end to corruption
if elected into power, while Atiku Abubakar, who is a
strong contender the former, last week called on Catholic
Bishops in Nigeria to pray for the country to overcome
the many challenges currently threatening security,
freedom of religion and citizenship in many parts of the
