Former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari has officially declared his intention to contest in the 2015 presidential elections

Former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari declared his presidential ambition today, October 15, at the Eagles Square in Abuja.

Buhari will go head to head with former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar for the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Buhari said during the ceremony while decrying the current situation in Nigeria which he blamed on the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP):

“I humbly wish to present myself before you, before all Nigerians and before God seeking to be elected as the APC Presidential candidate.”

Concerning the insecurity in the country he said:

"Nearly all are in fear for their lives or safety for themselves and their families due to insurgency by an ungodly group called Boko Haram, by marauding murderers in towns and villages, by armed robbers on the highways, by kidnappers who have put whole communities to fright and sometimes to flight.”

Buhari also added that the only way for Nigerians to free themselves from the oppressive rule of the PDP is to come together as one.

This is the fourth time that the former military ruler is contesting for Nigeria’s number one position.
