All Progressives Congress has said that only people who want to continue to profit from the level of corruption in the Nigerian society will be against the election of its presidential candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari(rtd) as the President of Nigeria in 2015.
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the national chairman of the party made this statement while speaking with journalists in Benin, 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.
“The message will be clear – whatever you engage in before that is detrimental to the people of this country, please stop it. Change has come. It is time for change and anybody who decides that he does not want to be part of the change and wants business as usual, that is his choice.
“And we are going to go into a situation, post May 2015, where the law will normally take its course. There will be a line drawn on the sand; on one part is the past, the other side is the future.
“If you are part of the future – part of change, part of changing the society from all these deliberate ills that have brought us to our kneels, you are our friend. You have nothing at all to fear. We don’t have time to go digging into the past. The future of our people is the challenge that we have; not the past.”
Recently, there were speculations that Buhari will probe past political office holders if he emerges as the president of the country in the forthcoming elections.
