AD Presidential candidate steps down for Buhari

  Barely 24 hours to the presidential elections,the presidential candidate of Alliance for Democracy, AD, Rafiu Salau announced he has stepped down for APC candidate. Gen. Mohammadu Buhari.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday,he said
“Don’t give any other party your mandate to stay in power for more than 16 years. You deserve another team of politicians with different manifestos and ideology to serve you.

“As voters, don’t listen to those who based their campaign on tribe and religion. In politics, the difference is ideology. Religion or tribe has nothing to do with pure democracy. Those who see your vote by tribe or religious influence have no program to implement for the greatness of the country.
“The democracy is yours. Control it so that no party will take it away from you. PDP has been in power for 16 years and It has tried its best.
“No matter good the performance of PDP for the past 16 years, you need to vote for another party before you can know that you will always get a better performance when you create competition among the parties.

“All of you, the 68 million voters should vote for General Buhari, the candidate of the democrats who will bring change. Vote APC. Show the world that you are in control of your democracy”, Salau said.
In response ,the National Chairman of APC, Chief John Oyegun said..
“By identifying with Buhari, it means that you must have to look at our programmes and our candidate and judge. You can see they are people-oriented. Our candidate is more qualified to lead the country.

“I am asking people to judge the administration of President Jonathan whether they really deserve any support of any kind. The PDP government has failed in every aspect. The main business of government today is corruption”, Oyegun said.
