The APC Presidential candidate further asserted that the PDP has completely ruined the country for the past 16 years, describing PDP as a complete failure having put the nation into economic, social and political quagmire.
While calling on Nigerians to take part in the polls, Buhari said: “The Igbo nation has been absolutely neglected for the past 16 years by the PDP. We must not allow PDP to rule this country for 20 years. If we do that, it will be very disastrous for the country. We are here to restore this nation.
