Buhari to Disown Anyone Who Engages in Violence on His Behalf

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mohammadu Buhari, has vowed to disown anybody or group that carries out physical or verbal attack on members of other political parties.

Buhari said this at the inauguration of the APC campaign council in Abuja on Monday.

He called on members of his party and supporters nationwide to vote peacefully and embark on issue-based campaign rather than involving in physical or verbal attack on their opponents.

“I am calling on all well-wishers within and outside the party not to insult any other aspirant or party leaders on my behalf”, Buhari said.

In his speech, the Director General of the APC presidential campaign organisation and the Governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon Chibuike Amaechi, described the 2015 general elections as the best opportunity for Nigerians to have change over bad government.

“We can’t afford to lose it. We cannot also afford to disagree on any issue. The only issue we can afford to disagree on is that we must not make a mistake. We must agree that President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have had their cup filled by themselves and that the society wants them out.” Amaechi said.
