ELECTIONS: AD PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WITHDRAWS FROM RACE, ADOPTS BUHARI

Presidential candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) in the forth coming presidential election slated for March 28, 2015, Rafiu Salau, today withdrew from the presidential race.

Announcing his decision at a press conference in Abuja, Salau adopted the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mohammadu Buhari, as its candidate for Saturday polls.

Salau added that experience had shown that strong democracies were built with two strong political parties competing for power.

According to him, "All of you, the 68 million voters, should vote for Gen. Buhari the candidate of the democrats, who will bring change. Vote APC.

"Show the world that you are in control of your democracy. You need to emulate the people of the developed democracy of the US and UK. The development of the two countries is because the people of the countries have total control of their democracy.

"No matter how good the performance of one party system, it cannot perform up to 10 per cent of a democratic system with at least two strong parties that give the people the opportunity to control their democracy."
