Buhari : Why i Contested In Elections 3 Times Before


Muhammadu Buhari, who finally emerged winner of the presidential election after three failed attempts, explained why he taken part in the polls in 2003, 2007 and 2011. Speaking on May 13, Wednesday, during the visit by Delta state All Progressives Congress in Abuja, the politicians said he had contested because he wanted freedom for Nigeria.

The president-elect was quoted as saying by The Punch: “Going through the court is not easy, both materially and physically, and I maintained that consistency because my view about my country is that Nigeria should be truly free.”

“Whether you get it or not, the most important thing is that you believe in the system and you should continue to try until the system is perfect. “I express my condolence to you for the people murdered and I assure you that my objective of remaining consistently in partisan politics is to make sure that Nigerians are given their inherent right to choose whoever they want to lead them.

” He vowed to focus on the development of the country, for Nigerians to be proud and respected globally. Buhari said that security would be his major priority. Otega Emerhor, the delegation leader, on his part, posed an allegation against the Peoples Democratic Party:

 “As our submission to the tribunal in respect of the governorship and state assembly elections will demonstrate, in truth, the majority of Deltans were ready for the change you represent and were geared to vote massively for you and APC. “Unfortunately, a grand design executed by the PDP in the South-South and South- East and particularly in Delta, Rivers and Akwa Ibom made sure that no proper elections took place.”

In another development, provided through the Wednesday statement, Buhari claimed he was not endorsing anybody for the position of the Senate president or speaker of the House of Representatives.

Concluding, Buhari promised to avoid mistakes made by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and added that “Nigeria has indeed entered a new dispensation”.
