I have no candidate for 2015 — Buhari

A former military Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has said the has no anointed candidate for any political position in the country.

Buhari, also a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, said this on Saturday in Kano at a sensitization workshop, organised by the Kano APC Forum for Peace and Equity. The former head of state said he had no candidate and urged anybody who wanted to aspire to any post to feel free to do so.

“Buhari has not anointed anybody as a candidate, so whoever people want is his candidate.
“Whoever emerges for the party as the people’s candidate at the local, state or presidential level is Buhari’s candidate. So Buhari’s candidate is the people’s candidate,” he said.

According to him, the APC as a party is not concerned about Buhari as a person or anybody but about the future of Nigeria and Nigerians.
