Alhaji Kawu Sumaila (APC, Kano) has said that the All Progressives Congress should be considered dead on arrival unless General Muhammadu Buhari emerges the Presidential candidate of the party.
He disclosed his opinion to reporters in Kaduna.
He said: “I am taking this position because I know that Buhari is tested and trusted, and so, I believe that only him can salvage the APC in 2015, and any attempt to field any other person may kill the party.
“By the special grace of God, APC will bring the positive change Nigerians are yearning for. I am calling on every member of the party to cooperate with our leader, Buhari, to contest and win the election.”
Also, former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Alhaji Umaru Dembo has said that Gen. Buhari would soon announce his candidacy.
“There have been speculations that Buhari will anoint Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State as a preferred presidential candidate because he will not contest himself, having vied for the presidency on three previous elections.
“But I want to dispel the rumour because General Muhammadu Buhari will contest the 2015 election, rather than anointing another candidate, he said.
