The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has unveiled Ahmed Buhari as his running mate ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Speaking at the unveiling on Wednesday, Kachikwu assured Nigerians that the ADC has come to rescue Nigeria, and take it out of its present security and economic woes.
Speaking on security, he said to tackle the challenges in the country, he would recruit more personnel into the military.
“While terrorists are recruiting, the military is not. If we must defeat the terrorists, we need massive recruitment into the military,” says the candidate.
In his reaction, Buhari noted that his acceptance to team up with Kachikwu and the ADC was out of his desire to effect positive change in the nation.
“Many presidential candidates and their running mates have only focused on talking about the Nigerian problem we are all familiar with, while some have decided to publicly attack and assassinate the character of other candidates.
“It is solutions that will get us out of this mess that has been created out of negligence, laziness, self-centeredness, self-denial and arrogance.
“Dumebi and I have, together with well-meaning Nigerians, built a blueprint that has been designed to bring back the lost glory of our dear nation and put smiles on the faces of the Nigerian people,” he said.
According to the vice presidential candidate, as long as responsibility is not transferred from one generation to the other, at the right time, a vacuum would be created.
On how to combat insecurity, the ADC vice presidential candidate said all that was required to solve it is political will.
