A political group under the aegis of “G.M.B Integrity,” has launched its grassroots campaign for General Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the 2015 presidential election.
Plateau State Coordinator of the group, Alhaji Mubashiru Aliyu Bawan Lawan Allah, stated this in Jos on Sunday while launching the Buhariyya movement, assuring that APC will take over the State and the country.
The group urged Nigerians to shun any political ideology that is built upon religious, tribal and regional sentiment for the overall interests of Plateau state and Nigeria at large.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC), and indeed Nigeria has no better person that can deliver it out of the mess of leadership at this critical situation than our aspirants.”
According to him Buhari is the only person that had ruled Nigeria, and has nothing to show for it. He has not even a single house in Abuja, “talk less of him having accounts either here at home or abroad.”
“Buhari is not aspiring to lead Nigeria, for his selfish interest, but is bothered about the well being of his country, the one that you, I and he has,” he added.
A speaker at the event Pastor Joseph Dabit, stated that General Buhari is “not a religious fanatic, because even when he was the Head of State, his fellow Muslim criticised him, saying Buhari is a fanatic, due to his truthfulness.”
According to him, Buhari is a truthful man worthy of leading Nigeria again, adding that his antecedents are pointers to the fact that both Christians, Muslims and other Nigerians should elect him into office in the interest of future generations of Nigeria.
Dabit said politicians are those who want public office in order to trample on citizens rights, stressing that general Buhari is an elder statesman “but not the like such politicians.”
“I said yes it is true that Buhari is not a politician per Nigerian context, but he is an elder statesman, who cares for Nigeria and the masses of Nigeria,” Dabit added that. “We are looking for a leader and we have gotten a leader.”
Dabit explained that Buhari will officially declare his interest to contest for the 2015 Presidential election on the 2nd of September.
