The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) national leader and its
candidate in the 2011 presidential election, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari,
has stated that he is ready to drop his presidential ambition for the survival
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a conglomeration of the nation’s major
opposition parties, including CPC.
Buhari told reporters in Minna yesterday that he would forgo his ambition to run for a record fourth time if a better candidate emerges.
The former military head of state, who was in Minna for the maiden
edition of the Sam Nda-Isaiah Annual Lecture Series, said he was willing to
drop his ambition for the progress of democracy and the good of the country.
“I am willing to step down if there is a formidable and better candidate than me. It is not about me but for the survival of the party. APC is about ensuring internal democracy, whoever emerges is the person I will support. Yes I will be ready to step down,” he said..........
