Former Head of State and national leader of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Gen. Muhammad Buhari, said the birth of the All Progressive Congress, APC was for national cohesion and not for personal aggrandisement.
The retired military boss stated this at the inauguration of constituency projects by member representing Zaria, at the House of Representatives, Rep. Abbass Tajuddeen in Zaria, Kaduna State on Wednesday.
Buhari, who was represented by CPC Chairman in Kaduna State, Alhaji Ahmadu Yaro-Cocacola, said opposition party, if elected, would foster national unity and restore hope to Nigerians.
He further called on Nigerians to remain focused during and after 2015 general elections with a view to electing credible and responsible candidates into various elective positions for the good of Nigeria.
The former Head of State hailed Tajuddeen for bringing the dividends of democracy close to the doorsteps of his people and called on other members to emulate him.
According to him, lawmakers had distinguished themselves in honour and service to humanity, hence the need for people to rally round the party.
Responding, Tajuddeen said that the gesture was aimed at giving all manner of people a sense of belonging, and gave the assurance that more dividends of democracy for his constituency were in the pipeline.
It also featured the inauguration of ICT/skills acquisition centre, wall fence and solar bore holes, among others.
