2015 Election will be Tough, We Want to Take Over ––Buhari

Ex-Military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari has predicted that next year’s general elections will be tough and urged all APC members to collect their voters’ card and hold on to them.

He called on Nigerians not to vote for treasury looters in 2015, saying provision of free amenities is possible. He rolled out the party’s package for Nigerians; improved infrastructure, water, electricity and improved education system for Nigerians, under a new government run by the APC.
In Buhari's words: “The next five months will be very tough, because we want to take over the government, from Councillorship to Presidency. 
“Next election is going to be different and next year is going to be tough because APC is ready for change in Nigeria. We will stop corruption; no more will anybody put government money into private pockets."

See Why General Babangida Annulled June 12, 1993, Election

20 years after, Nigerians are presented with the excuses and reasons why Military Head of State, General Ibrahim B. Babangida, annulled the country's most acclaimed free and fair election. Read it below...
Why We Annulled June 12 Presidential Election — General Ibrahim Babangida
Fellow Nigerians, I address you today with a deep sense of world history and particularly of the history of our great country. In the aftermath of the recently annulled presidential election, I feel, as I believe you yourself feel, a profound sense of disappointment at the outcome of our last efforts at laying the foundation of a viable democratic system of government in Nigeria.

I therefore wish, on behalf of myself and members of the National Defence and Security Council and indeed of my entire administration, to feel with my fellow countrymen and women for the cancellation of the election. It was a rather disappointing experience in the course of carrying through the last election of the transition to civil rule programme.
