The Peoples Democratic Party has described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as a perennial presidential candidate, adding that he will lose to the PDP in 2015 under President Goodluck Jonathan, like in the three previous presidential elections.
Buhari had run for president under the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2003 and 2007 and the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) in 2011 and was defeated by the PDP.
While appreciating members of the Foreign Chapters of the PDP for their contributions at the recent national convention of the party, the national secretary of PDP, Prof Adewale Oladipo said, “The APC had again presented its perennial candidate in person of General Buhari; he lost elections to PDP thrice in the past; we will beat him again”.
Oladipo who addressed the party members during an interactive session at the party’s national secretariat added, “The coming election will be different; it is going to be a straight fight between a PhD holder and a semi-illiterate jackboot; Nigerians will see the differences; PDP will beat APC hands down; APC has nothing to offer the nation; it is not an alternative to our party; we mean well for the country.”
He said PDP had already set up a Presidential Campaign Council to be headed by the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu. The director general of the council is a former national chairman of the party, Sen Ahmadu Ali.
He said, “All our foreign chapters will be involved in the issue-based campaign to counter all the lies of the APC; APC will be busy propagating negative things about the country and be ignoring all the positive things the PDP-led federal government has been doing”.
