A leader of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Chief Ayo Akande, says APC would win the 2015 presidential elections if the party picks Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) as its presidential candidate and Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, as the running mate.
Akande, who said this in a statement on Thursday, described a Buhari/Fashola ticket as the "best option" for the party because of their good antecedents.
He said, "A Buhari/Fashola combination stands to offer lot of advantages. We all know Buhari as a man of good virtue, who did not corruptly enrich himself. The APC stands a better chance to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan who has been endorsed as the sole candidate of the PDP for the 2015 presidential election.
"A Buhari/Fashola team would give the Peoples Democratic Party a good fight in the presidential elections.
"The antecedents of Buhari as a military head of state in terms of war against indiscipline and corruption and Fashola's self-discipline and accountability would give the APC the long-sought exalted seat of the president of the country."
Akande also commended Fashola's achievements in Lagos, saying that he deserved a higher responsibility, having performed well as governor for eight years.
"Fashola will make a good president but if the presidency is zoned to the North, then he will make a perfect running mate to Buhari," he said.
