2015: Why Buhari/Fashola Ticket Is The Best To Defeat Any PDP Presidential Aspirant – APC Chieftain Reveals

Buhari/Fashola Ticket for APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) stands a better chance of defeating the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 presidential elections if it fields General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as its presidential candidate and Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, as the running mate. APC chieftain, Ayo Akande, disclosed this on Tuesday. He said the combination of these two “trusted and tested politicians will defeat whoever the PDP presents anyday, anytime”.

While adding that corruption has always been the bane of progress and development of Nigeria, Akande said the records of Buhari as head of state in terms of war against corruption and Fashola’s self-discipline coupled with his accountability would deliver the presidency to APC. APC has many options for its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, but to me, I think the Buhari – Fashola ticket will be the best they can present. This is my personal opinion though.
If we can effectively tackle corruption in Nigeria, poverty will be a thing of the past. That is what a Buhari- Fashola ticket will do. We all know Buhari as a man of integrity who did not corruptly enrich himself as Head of State. Even the PDP attests to the fact that he is a very disciplined man. That is a kind of president Nigeria wants. On Fashola, a governor, who has served for eight years and has performed creditably in Lagos, the economic and capital centre of Nigeria, deserves a higher responsibility.”
“Fashola will make a good president but if the presidency will emerge from the North, then he will make a better running mate to Buhari,” he said.
