After months of speculations as to which party young Nigerian entrepreneur, Ahmed Buhari will run in the 2019 election, it is now clear that the young man will contest under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Buhari made his intention known in Abuja on Sunday why he is contesting for the number one job in Nigeria and under the PDP.

“It is a demonstration of how serious we are. We want to work with a party that has structures in all the states of the country.
“To defeat the incumbent, one needs a party with these attributes. To run a successful campaign, we can not run under an ‘unknown’ party with strong hold in a few states or in one or two geo-political zone,” Buhari admitted.
He said his choice of the PDP was borne out of the fact that it is the only party with structures across the 36 states of Nigeria and the only party that can defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“We can not succeed with a party with no presence in all the local government in the country. We will not make it with such parties.

Nigerians for who we are will think of us as a bunch of distraction and attention seeking clowns if we choose to work with a party without experience or presence nation wide.
If all the members and supporters of PDP close ranks and challenge the ruling party, we can succeed,” he said.
He rejected the notion that the PDP is a failed party that parades corrupt politicians.
“Some folks have come up to say they thought we would be different yet we are aligning with a corruption infested failed party.
“In reality, we need everyone on board this course to reposition Nigeria. We need to retrace our steps both as a party and nation to realise our goals,” Buhari concluded.
