March 25, 2015 – Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari today commended Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Bisi Akande for the creation of a formidable opposition, which is the APC.

Buhari who spoke at a colloquium in Lagos said the two strong men where among those who sat down to put the party together.

The presidential candidate said Nigerians never thought the merger was possible.

“But this merger, if there are two people responsible for it, they are Tinubu and Akande. They did it because their constituencies believed in them. We have been trying since 2005 and this time, a look at the PDP government at the centre show us that merger would be worthwhile to save the country. Now we have the APC and the fear of the APC is the beginning of wisdom in Nigeria.”

“Our success as a party can only be undermined by people that are not among us. How we have conducted ourselves according to the law, from the merger, to the convention and till date, is huge.

Buhari urged the electorate to reflect careful on the situation of things today from when the ruling party took over in 1999 as they go to the polls on Saturday.

“I know that a lot of money has changed hands ahead of the Saturday elections, but if we continue to motivate ourselves and mobilise our constituencies, victory is ours,” he said.

With the Saturday election, Tinubu said it was time for people to take decision, or it will never be taken.

“We must decide if compassion should speak more than corruption. This is the time to believe in something more profound and in a government that is coming and that government is APC. Let us all have faith. I’m filled with expectations of a more just society. History is upon us to make the needed change, otherwise history will make an unfavorable verdict on us,” Tinubu said.
