A former military head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), popularly called #GMB on Twitter, is about to formally declare his intention to run for the seat in Aso Rock in February 2015.
Thousands of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters have been gathering at Eagles Square, FCT Abuja, since morning of October 15, 2014, Wednesday. The organisers of the rally and the observers emphasised that the event had no crowd buying and no presidential funding.
14:20 The event is being closed by Senator Abu Ibrahim and Dino Melaye.
The senator emphasised that Nigeria needs someone like Buhari to the rescue. Melaye concluded the rally be expressing hope to gather in May 2015 for the inauguration of Buhari as the new president of Nigeria!
14:03 The rest of the world looks at Nigeria as a home of corruption. Where stealing is not corruption, says Buhari.
13:56 The speech has started. A really powerful quotes by him:
“I humbly wish to present you, before all Nigerians and before God seeking to be elected as APC presidential candidate.”
“Nigeria has never been so polarized by a sinking government We in APC have resolved to stop them in their track.”
13:50 Prof. Tam David West accompanied #GMB to the podium. The general is about to speak.
13:45 Chief Audu Ogbeh is reading Buhari’s complete profile. This looks like the start of the main part of the day!
