2015: Eze advises APC to pick Buhari/Amaechi for presidential race

2015 sha ..hehehe....The All Progressives Congress, APC, has been advised to settle for General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as its presidential candidate and Rotimi Amaechi as his running mate.
Former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New PDP, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, who gave this advise on Wednesday opined that Buhari/Amaechi ticket remained the best for the opposition party.
He agreed that though the APC had the power to anoint who flies its flag at the forthcoming presidential election, it would do them good to settle for the best candidate.
Speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt, Eze, who discouraged the idea of a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the APC, said that a winning ticket should feature a Muslim as a presidential candidate and his running mate as a Christian.
He saw Amaechi as a strong voice who can pull crowd during the election.
He said, “I have read a lot about a probable Muslim-Muslim ticket in the party, but that is not advisable in the present circumstances in the interest of a united nation and mission to rescue Nigeria from the shackles of impunity.
“The winning ticket is one that features a strong candidate of Muslim extraction and a strong candidate of Christian background. A Buhari-Amaechi ticket would just be perfect. I don’t see how Goodluck Jonathan and whoever is paired with him can survive in a free and fair contest against Buhari and Amaechi,” Eze said.
Eze, a former spokesman of the now rested nPDP and a political associate to Amaechi stated that the APC was standing on a two-legged stool- Legacy Group and the nPDP group, recalling that Buhari belonged to the Legacy Group.
He said, “We of the New PDP Group have conceded the National Chairman’s seat to the Legacy Group (Chief John Odigie-Oyegun) and if Buhari, who is also a member of the Legacy Group, gets the ticket, then it becomes imperative that we in the New PDP must be given the Vice President’s slot.
“However, if Atiku Abubakar or Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, who are also members of the New PDP gets the ticket, we of the New PDP family should graciously concede the VP ticket to the Legacy Group in the spirit of equity, justice and fairness which are the principles in which APC was established”.
“The fate of our country can only be ratified and put back on track if APC leadership and members unite to get PDP sacked by 2015. If not, the woes ahead on all of us may be difficult to describe.

“We have done too much talking. The fact remains that should APC lose out in the 2015 general election, but God forbid, the true colour of President Goodluck Jonathan will be revealed to Nigerians and the heat may be unbearable”, he added.
