The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has welcomed the victory of former military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential primary of the opposition All progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the 2015 general election, the fourth time in succession that he would square up against the PDP.
The PDP, speaking through a statement signed by its national pubicity secretary, Olisa Metuh said Buhari had failed to paint a picture of the future to Nigerians on his previous three attempts at the presidency.
He said: “On each occasion, his brand of politics was rejected across Nigeria. Apart from changing to a dinner suit, Buhari, has not changed the tired ideas and provocative utterances that Nigerians rejected in previous elections. We hope that this time around, Buhari will conduct a campaign that is issue-based and devoid of ethno-religious sentiments.”
He further stated that the PDP was Nigeria’s only true national political party where all Nigerians could chase their legitimate aspirations.
