•Nigerians should vote wisely —Kumuyi
Former Head of State and presidential candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, has said that the endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest the presidential seat in 2015 will not make any difference as the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win overwhelmingly.
Buhari stated this on Friday, in Sokoto, the Sokoto State capital, while inaugurating projects executed by the state governor, Aliyu Wammako.
While lauding the governor for embarking on people-oriented programmes, the former head of state, who was on a two-day visit to the state, said the endorsement of Jonathan would not make any difference as the PDP has failed to address problems facing the masses.
He lamented the high level of insecurity and crimes in the country.
“The number of military men deployed to monitor elections in Ekiti State, if deployed to the North East, will end the Boko Haram insurgency. Our Chibok girls are still in captivity,” he said.
He further added that APC is a party with clear objectives.
“Our aim and focus is to put a stop to corrupt practices and restore hope to Nigeria,” he said.
In the meantime, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Christian Ministry, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, has charged Nigerians to vote wisely and choose visionary leaders for the transformation of the country.
He emphasised the need for the people not to be swayed by financial inducement but elect candidates that are deemed capable of addressing the challenges confronting the country.
Kumuyi gave the charge on Thursday in Osogbo, Osun State, at a press conference heralding his three-day crusade scheduled to hold in the city.
“In 2015, we should cast our votes intelligently. The leaders that have the vision and pedigree to transform our nation should be voted into power at the local, state and federal levels,” he said.
