REJECT PDP'S  TYRANNY : BY GEN. BUHARI

Former Head of State and All Pro­gressives Congress (APC) presiden­tial hopeful, Major Gen Mohammadu Buhari, has urged Nigerians to stop the alleged tyranny of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the coun­try by voting out President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 general elections.

Buhari made the call yes­terday while commission­ing the newly completed Ekiti Parapo Square built by Governor Kayode Fay­emi to mark the 18th an­niversary of the creation of Ekiti State.

He said Nigerians had been traumatised by PDP’s reign in the country, insist­ing that it was high time Ni­gerians took their destiny in their hands and rescued themselves from bad gover­nance and oppression.

Buhari, who was the spe­cial guest of honour at the event, challenged the elite across the country to use their network to educate the masses on the need to exer­cise their civic responsibil­ity by trooping out to vote for the right candidates dur­ing the elections.

The former military head of state said there “is no doubt that Nigerians have been traumatised under the PDP leadership and Nige­ria will be in trouble if we carry on the way the PDP has been doing in Nigeria.”

He added: “That is why it is important for we, the elite to talk to the less privileged to collect their permanent voters’ cards in preparation for the 2015 elections. This is the only missile against the PDP tyr­anny.

“We must take this seri­ously because the APC is seriously determined to of­fer a better alternative plat­form for Nigerians. So, we have to be prepared for next year’s elections.”

He praised Fayemi for his outstanding success in the last four years, expressing joy that he was part of the governor’s success story.

“I am indeed very happy to be part of this success story. Fayemi has been able to prove that what is expect­ed of any leader is selfless service.

“And I want to believe that all these legacy proj­ects will remain in his name forever even after leaving office,” he said.
