I can’t give you a pocketful of dollars but …–See Buhari’s heart-torching letter to APC delegates

LETTER TO THE DELEGATES OF ALL
PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS, APC, DURING THE
NATIONAL DELEGATES CONVENTION
My Dear Delegates,
As you gather for our convention, please
remember that history, change and the hopes
of Nigeria are there with you. They are there to
ask you to perform according to your best
judgment and patriotic conscience. I also ask
you to do the same.
We seek a new Nigeria. It starts with us. It
starts today. I have placed myself before you
seeking your help to nominate me as your
standard bearer for our progressive party, APC.
Personal ambition does not drive me in this
regard. I seek to be the next president of our
beloved nation because I believe I have
something to offer Nigeria at this time of
multiple crises. Insecurity, corruption, and
economic collapse have brought the nation low.
Time is past due that we work together to lift
Nigeria up. I am ready to lead Nigeria to its
rightful future.
I have always served Nigeria to the best of my
ability. I have always tried to give more to the
nation than it has given me. This is the
principle of service that has guided my public
life. Thus, I am not a rich person. I can't give
you a pocketful of dollars or naira to
purchase your support. Even if I could, I
would not do so. The fate of this nation is
not up for sale.
What I will give you, and this nation is all of my
strength, commitment, sweat and toil in the
service of the people. What I can give you is my
all.
I do not intend to rule Nigeria. I want to
democratically govern it with your help. I seek
a Nigeria where Christians and Muslims may
practise their faiths in peace and security; a
Nigeria that is just and where corruption no
longer trespasses into our institutions and
national behavior and a Nigeria where our
diversity could be used for our national
prosperity.
Nigeria is our home. Let us now turn it into the
great nation we know it can and should be.
I thank you all
Muhammadu Buhari (RTD) GCFR
