Your voter cards only missile against PDP tyranny – Buhari

Former Head of State, General Muhammadu

Buhari (rtd),has called on all eligible voters in
Nigeria to take the advantage of 2015 general
elections to vote the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) out of power.
Buhari was speaking in Ado Ekiti yesterday
during the commissioning of 12,000 -seater Ekiti
Parapo Square, condemned the alleged the
tyranny of the Peoples Democratic Party in the
country
The former Head of State urged the eligible
voters to collect their permanent voters cards to
vote out the ruling PDP in next year’s election
Buhari, who was a special Guest of honour at the
event challenged the elites across the country to
use their networks to educate the less privileged
masses on the need to exercise their civic
responsibility by trooping out to vote for the right
candidates during the elections.
The former Military Head of State said :”It is no
doubt that Nigerians have been traumatized
under the PDP leadership and Nigeria will be in
trouble if we carry on the way the PDP has been
doing in Nigeria.
“That is why it is important for we elites to talk to
the less privileged to collect their permanent
voter cards in preparation for the 2015 elections.
This is the only missile against the PDP tyranny.
“We must take this seriously because the APC is
seriously determined to offer a better alternative
platform for Nigerians . So , we have to be
prepared for the next year elections”,
Buhari praised Governor Fayemi for his
outstanding success in the last four years,
expressing joy to be part of the Governor’s
success stories.
“I am indeed very happy to be part of this
success story. Fayemi has been able to prove
that what is expected of any leader is selfless
service. And I want to believe that all these
legacy projects will remain in his name forever
even after leaving office”, he said
Speaking at the event , Governor Fayemi
reiterated the need for all and sundry to embrace
peace, saying that economic and academic
endeavours can only thrive in an atmosphere of
peace and tranquillity
The governor asserted that the State has
witnessed peace and accelerated physical
development in his four years in office.This, he
said, was attested by the World Bank’s ‘Doing
Business’ index which puts Ekiti as one of the
four Nigerian States that have made
“The most progress and stood out for introducing
several high impact reforms that narrowed down
the gap to best practices the most”.Fayemi
further stressed the need for all Ekiti indigenes to
unite and take ownership of the Ekiti project so
that the State can continue to have a “pool of
achievers worthy of the State, National and
Global recognition.”
“I therefore charge the good people of Ekiti State
to push the bounds of possibilities for our future
by uniting more than ever before to protect our
heritage of honour as well as the modest
developmental gains we have made in recent
years.
We must celebrate today by joining our hearts
and minds in one accord, and decide to outgrow
the teething challenges of statehood such as the
arbitrariness we have witnessed in recent times”,
the Governor said.While speaking on the State
Merit Award, the Governor said the award was
aimed at restoring the values for which Ekiti
people are known as well as redeeming “the
meaning of who our heroes are”.
Governor Fayemi, who stated that it is
incontrovertible that Ekiti is the home of
intellectuals, said Olaoluwa’s feat as Africa’s
youngest Ph.D holder in Mathematics at the age
of 24 years will challenge the younger generation
of Ekiti indigenes to brace up with “avowed
determination to surpass the academic
excellence already displayed by Olaoluwa.
