Former Head of State, retired Major
General Muhammadu Buhari, will soon declare his intention to run for
president in the 2015 election under the All Progressives Congress (APC)
party chieftain and former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Alhaji
Umaru Dembo has said.
He said yesterday at the inauguration of
the Isah Ashiru governorship campaign team in Kaduna that Buhari will
make his intention public as soon as he returns from his overseas trip.
“There have been speculations that Buhari will anoint Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State as a preferred presidential candidate because he will not contest himself, having vied for the presidency on three previous elections. But I want to dispel the rumour because General Buhari will contest the 2015 election rather than anointing another candidate”, he said.
Also speaking, the Director General of the Ashiru Campaign Organization, Ambassador Sule Buba, said more members of the PDP will join the APC in Kaduna State, adding that southern Kaduna which used to a stronghold of the PDP has now been taken over by the APC and founders of the PDP in the state have already joined the APC.
