Press Release
The All Progressives Congress
Campaign Office (APCCO) has restated General Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to
the historic peace accord jointly entered into between him and President
Goodluck Jonathan, as a means to forestall violence during and after the
forthcoming general elections.
In a statement released in
London, United Kingdom on Thursday and signed by Malam Garba Shehu, Director of
Media and Publicity of the campaign, General Buhari is quoted to have said that
Nigeria was bigger than any political party or any individual, and that the
country’s greatness would outlive any election.
“Despite the series of
provocations by the PDP, through hate speeches and adverts being broadcast in
the media, we call on our supporters all around the country to remain calm but
resolute,” General Buhari said.
General Buhari also asked his
supporters to ignore any distractions and remain focused on making the democratic
process work, encouraging them to ensure that they collect their PVCs before
the 8 March deadline.
The statement further
emphasised that Nigeria was in a democracy, and that the greatest weapon each
citizen has is his or her vote. He called on all his supporters across
the country to go out en masse on 28 March and 11 April and cast their
ballots.
“Your greatest weapon is your
vote,” he said. “That is the only way to bring about CHANGE, not through
violence.”
