President Muhammadu Buhari has
opened up on the power that made him President of Nigeria after three failed
attempt.
Buhari said after failing in
2003, 2007 and 2011, he decided to put his faith in God, who ultimately decides
who wins elections, and “in 2015, I got here”.
He stated this at the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Ward Congress held at Bayagida Model Primary
School, Katsina State, on Saturday.
The President called for
patience, maturity and orderliness as the 2019 elections’ calendar begins to
unfold.
He urged political parties, candidates
and the electorate to put the country first and always remember that “victory
ultimately belongs to God”.
“After going to the court so many
times to challenge results of elections in 2003, 2007 and 2011, and going up to
the Supreme Court, I concluded that ultimately it is God who determines who
will win elections, and in 2015 I got here,’’ he said.
Also speaking, the Katsina state
governor, Alhaji Aminu Masari, said the process of electing the leaders of the
party at the ward level was hitch-free, orderly and based on the constitution
of the APC.
“What we have here are our
leaders that were chosen based on consensus and we are happy that it reflects
the will of the people and the APC constitution. We followed the process to
also ensure that there is affirmation,’’ he said.
The Chairman of the Organising
Committee for the Ward Congress, who is also the Commissioner of Justice and
Attorney General, Ahmad Usman El-Marzuq, urged the party leaders to remain
loyal and live up to expectations.
