Why we’re backing Buhari’s presidential ambition —BMC

By Daniel Gumm

WARRI—A POLITICAL pressure group poised to ensure the victory of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) in the February 14, presidential poll, Buhari Movement For Change, BMC, was yesterday, inaugurated in Warri, Delta State with a mandate to “intensify door-to-door campaign for the desired change from tribal governance to national government.”

In a communiqué by its South-South Coordinator, Prince David Iwere, BMC noted that it decided to back the presidential ambition of Buhari because “The sacrifice for change has become imperative in the face of failed power sector reform, where Nigerians now pay more for almost zero electricity supply despite the purported privatisation of the sector and the comatose state of the nation’s economy coupled with the constant devaluation of the naira.”

Spokesman of BMC, Dr. Emiko Ofuyaekpone, who read the communiqué, promised that they will mobilise resources, and people from all ethnic nationalities to ensure Buhari’s victory.
