Buhari said Nigerians should boot out the ruling party because it has nothing to offer.
He pointed out that the PDP government has lost out in the fight against insecurity, unemployment and economic downturn.
“This is the time for change. The APC government will give employment, deal with corruption and invest the money to develop education, build, equip schools and train teachers’’, the presidential candidate said.
“ We will also look into the problems of the armed forces, trail and equip them’’.
Buhari appealed to the APC supporters to go and collect their PVCs in order for them to be able to vote out the PDP in the election.
The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Oyegun, said he was impressed with the turn out and “ declared Ondo an APC state.
National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, said what the APC is out to do is “ a common sense revolution”, adding that Nigerian has been in bondage for over 60 years.

He said: “What we have been seeing is transaction not transformation’’.
