The All Progressives Congress on Monday said that only corrupt Nigerians and persons opposed to change would be against the election of its presidential flag bearer, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as the nation’s President in 2015.
The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, stated this while speaking with journalists in Benin, against the backdrop of speculation that the former military Head of State would probe past political office holders if he emerged victorious in the 2015 presidential election.
Odigie-Oyegun stressed that the party was interested in the future of the country, rather than digging into the past.
He said, “The only people I can think of, who will fear the Buhari Presidency are those who do not want change; they are those who want to continue with business as usual; they are those who want to continue to profit from the level of corruption in the society. We will have no apologies for people like that.
“But it is clear that from the Buhari’s perspective and that of the APC, the future of the people of this country is too important for us to spend valuable time trying to dig into the past.”
While urging public office holders to desist from corrupt practices, the APC national chairman assured Nigerians that the law would take its course, adding that anybody who believed that the future of Nigeria was greater than his or her personal proclivity would have nothing to fear.
