Buhari made the pledge on Thursday during the APC presidential rally held at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, the Edo State capital.
Accompanying Buhari were the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; a national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; the vice presidential candidate of the party, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo; the Director-General of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi; Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole; and former governors of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi and Segun Oni.
Others were state party leaders, state executive council members as well as serving national and state legislators.
Buhari explained that APC had decided to focus its attention on the major challenges, in view of the hardship Nigerians were passing through as a result of the “16 years of PDP misrule”.
The APC presidential candidate decried the poor state of infrastructure in various sectors of the economy, which he attributed to the lack of accountability in the management of resources, urging Nigerians to use their votes to bring an end to the leadership of the PDP-led Federal Government.
Buhari added, “When PDP came into power, NEPA or the Power Holding Company of Nigerian, both blessed memory, were producing about 3,000 to 4,000 megawatts. Today, after PDP has expended $20bn, we are producing less than that.
“With this amount of lack of accountability, there is no way Nigeria can survive. So, before they kill Nigeria and kill us, we better vote out the PDP. We hope that on the Election Day, you will come out enough en masse and make sure PDP is constitutionally killed from Nigeria.
He said the APC would strive to make insecurity in the North East and other parts of the country a thing of the past in order to create avenues for meaningful development to thrive.
