December 10, 2014 was our Primaries Day. February 2015 will be our Presidential elections. As you know, the general trust level of politics, politicians and political leaders, is at an all-time low.
One may ask why?
And we can as well understand why!
After years of broken promises, hyper-corruption, the feeling that politicians have become too remote from the people, etc., it is no wonder that Nigerians have completely lost faith in the country’s ability to govern itself not just because of the problems facing the country, but the lack of faith in the present set of leaders at the helm of affairs.
The challenge, facing all of us as Nigerians is whether there is enough will and courage amongst us as citizens to unite, commit and resolve to radically reform, modernise and move the nation forward. I Muhammadu Buhari have resolved that the task ahead of me is that of Securing our Nation and Prospering our people – not looking backward to the failed policies and promises of the past.
As I noted before, it is no longer a question of choice but that of the will and the courage.
This document sets out our side of the bargain: the things I as your future president, want to do to change Nigeria for the better. We will however warn you all: I cannot do this alone.
Each one of you and I must work together to get our economy on the right track; mend our broken lives, infrastructure, institutions, and the overall society. You must help me to reform our rotten political system, by getting involved, taking responsibility, and working together as a team.
I, Muhammadu Buhari believe that our polity is broken. Our nation is in urgent need of a fundamental political reform. This requires honesty, integrity and forthrightness in order to improve governance, so as to make it transparent and accountable to all Nigerians.
