National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has made it clear that there is no basis for comparing President Muhammadu Buhari with other Presidential candidate for the 2019 election.
“Why we are a better choice? President Buhari if compared to the rest of the aspirants, there is no basis to compare day and night. The real issue in this election is not going to be religion. It is not going to be about political party, central to the issue and given our past experience as a country, we know that what makes a difference is the character, the issue of integrity of the candidates.”
Oshiomhole, who spoke to news men today, Friday after a close door meeting with President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja said that in the forthcoming campaigns, all issues will be concentrated on character and integrity of the candidates.
“There will be two sets of messages. One, on what we have done in the past, without failing to remind people of where we were before, what we are going to do in the next three years, and a couple of things we believe we will be doing differently.
“This edition is going to be focusing on character, integrity of those who want to govern us. In addition to what and how they will do things differently.”
Oshiomhole said the APC is fully ready for the campaign, saying: “we are going to announce the date and programme for our campaigns, and speak to the issues.
“My idea of kick off will be the day we will do our first presidential rally where Mr. President as our candidate and other candidates, party leaders will assemble in a venue that will be agreeable to all of us.”
