BREAKING NEWS: Buhari Wins APC Presidential Primary In Lagos [Photos]



Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) today at the All Progressives Congress (APC) convention in Lagos won the presidential primary to carry the party’s flag at the 2015 presidential election to be held on February 15th 2015.


The former Head of State  grabbed about 5,000 votes being the majority of the votes cast to beat former Vice President Atiku, Rabiu Kwankwaso, current Governor of Kano State, Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, and Sam Nda-Isaiah, publisher of Leadership newspapers, to secure the bid.

Earlier yesterday, there were reports that some of the candidates had withdrawn from the race in favour of General Buhari, but they were later dismissed as false. The negotiations are thought to have delayed the start of the convention, which began at the Teslim Balogun Stadium venue hours later than expected.  
Buhari will square up against incumbent Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan in a crucial election next year.

Close to Buhari in the second place is the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar with 954 vote,  Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and Imo State Governor, Rochas Owelle Okorocha are struggling neck to neck in the third and forth place, while Leadership Publisher, Sam Ndah had just one vote.
With Buhari’s emergence, despite yesterday’s dollarization of the the process by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, it is obvious, Nigerians are really ready to shun corrupt practices and follow their conscience in their quest for a true change of Nigeria State.
Former Vice Atiku Abubakar had yesterday stormed the convention ground with pocket full of United States dollars, offering each delegates $2,000 to $5,000 in exchange for their votes.
Nigeria is indeed hungry for change. The race to Aso Rock com 2015 now between the incumbent, President Goodluck Jonathan and Gen. Muhammed Buhari.
