As Nigerians await the declaration of former Head of State, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari, for the 2015 presidential election or otherwise, the Chairman of Leadership newspapers, Sam Nda-Isaiah, on Saturday said he remains the only All Progressives Congress candidate who has indicated interest to vie for the number seat in the country.
Nda-Isaiah said as far as he is aware, Buhari has not indicated interest to run in 2015.
Nda-Isaiah spoke with journalists after his registration at Gofar-Dogara Mainadi in Makera Ward of Chanchaga Local Government Area of Niger State in the ongoing nationwide registration by the APC.
When asked if Buhari will contest and the issues he intends addressing as president, he said: : “Buhari has always been my boss but I do not think the way you are thinking.
“We talk time to time.
“I have already told him, I want to contest.
“Buhari has not said he is going to contest yet, but I am going to contest.
“I joined APC because it is the only progressive party in Nigeria.
“When I come in, I believe there will be enough time to address all these things but I am sure the issues are very clear for everybody to see.”
Nda-Isaiah, who was received by a large number of members of the APC, was accompanied by the Chairman of the Niger State APC Registration Committee, Zakeri Angulu; the Secretary of the committee, Sabo Mohammed; as well as the Director General of his campaign organisation, SAM4NIGERIA, Mallam Bala Garba, was issued card Number 0100402 as the second person to be registered in the unit.
He was registered at the unit by the registration officers, Shehu Musa Danjuma and Mustapha Hamisu, with the APC members chanting the party’s slogan.
Asked by journalists why he decided to go into politics, Nda-Isaiah said: “What made me come into Nigeria politics is because Nigeria needs direction.
“We cannot continue on this path.
“There is the need for a new direction.”
Nda-Isaiah later visited the party secretariat located off Zarumai Road, Minna with other party members.
He was received by the representative of the party executives, Attairu Musa Abubakar.
Some of the people that spoke at the party secretariat emphasised the need for the youths of Nigeria to take charge of their destiny and that the active participation of Nda-Isaiah has shown that the youths are ready to take the gauntlet of leadership.
