The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, March 17, held a meeting with media practitioners in Abuja.
During the meeting, Buhari addressed his past as a dictator, his plans for Nigeria if elected into office and his reason for refusing to debate with President Goodluck Jonathan.
Here are five important things he said during the meeting:
I want to give you my full assurances that in this democratic dispensation, I will ensure that the Nigerian constitution is upheld.
I cannot change the past but I can change the present and future. Dictatorship goes with military which made possible decree four.
I am a former military leader. Note the emphasis on former. But I am now a converted democrat.
I give full assurances to Nigeria media will be free under an APC government.
There is no basis for a debate since the record of the PDP and Mr. Jonathan in government is public knowledge.
