My Call To Nigeria is of Love - Buhari

General Muhammadu Buhari in his acceptance speech at the All Progressives Congress national convention where he emerged as the APC presidential candidate has said that his call to you serve Nigerians is a call made due to the love he has for NIgerians and Nigeria.

The speech read thus

The outcome of the APC is a demonstration of how democracy works. It is testimoy to the fact that democracy's concept is greater than individual interest in a free and functioning political system. What has just happened here today is not about winning or losing but it is about the freedom of choice and association which are the hallmark of democracy.

To other aspirants, I wish to thank you for putting so much fight in the election. The keenly contested primary will help to strengthen the party and the country's democracy. It will also send our wish to Nigerians in the forthcoming election.

I shall meet with you very soon to fashion out how we can win the battle to rescue the country from those who have led us to the state of insecurity, poverty, sectarian divide among others.

My call to you Nigerians is a call made due to the love for the country and concern for its present condition.

Irrespective of our status in the country, we are all citizens of the great country.

Preserving the country's future is the sacred obligation of all in this party.

Sadly, the current administration does not believe in this obligation. By their action, they are leading us to calamity.

At international conferences, the Nigerian delegation is always the largest but the least effective. Our status should command respect but at the moment, we among the weakest.

Shall we continue to live in a nation where several youths died in search of job. And the central government has not investigate their death.

If I am elected, I will govern the country inline with the constitution of the country.

We will strive to improve the economy of this great nation.

We will strive to address poverty through broadly-shared economic growth and address corruption through impartial application of the law.

I will tolerate no religious, regional, ethnic or gender bias in our government.

I will return Nigeria to a position of international respect through active and wise foreign policy.

We will select the best Nigerians for posts in my government.

Our government will institute policies that would afford the citizens the dignity of work and minimum wage for their sweat.

We shall implement a national infrastructure master plan that will further improve the economy of the nation.

Our government when elected, will allow the Economic Financial Crime Commission, EFCC to investigate independently.
