Nigeria’s former military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd), has become the second presidential aspirant to pick the expression of interest and nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
General Buhari, who paid the required 27.5million Naira in Abuja, was handed the forms by the party’s National Chairman, Mr John Oyegun.
Mr Oyegun handed over the forms to the former military Head of State after former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva, handed over a cheque of N27.5million on behalf of the presidential aspirant to the National Organising Secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso.
The former Nigerian Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, had on Wednesday, declared his intention to contest in the presidential election of 2015.
He made the official declaration before a large gathering of APC members at the Eagle Square in Abuja, where he promised to restore Nigeria’s honour if elected as President in 2015.
The former Head of State has promised to tackle issues of insecurity, corruption, unemployment and power generation, among others, if elected.
