Barely twelve months before Nigerians go to the poll to elect
their president, former head of state, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) has
said he would consider contesting for the presidency once more if his
party, the All Progressive Congress, APC, picks him as their candidate
at the party's primary holding later in the year.
The
former military head of state made this disclosure on Friday night
while answering questions during an online interview with Sahara
Reporters.
When asked if he would consider to contest during the
upcoming 2015 Presidential Election after he once said he would never
want to rule Nigeria again, Buhari said: "Since I made that statement, a
lot of my people and many Nigerians have come to me to ask me to
contest for the presidency. And I will only consider to contest for the
presidency in 2015 if my party (APC) chooses me as their flag bearer
during the primary."
Commenting on whether he would campaign for
the presidency before the APC primary scheduled to hold
later in the
year, the retired army general said: "No".
Also, when he was asked
why he thinks many rich men do not want him to become the president of
Nigeria, Buhari said: "I think it is based on my principle on
accountability."
