<\/p>\nOshiomhole speaking with State House correspondents after the meeting, said that the party\u2019s campaign for the 2019 presidential election will focus on character and integrity of the candidates.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cWe are fully ready, we have done with our primaries and filled our nominations. As you know, INEC still has a window between now and First of January to deal with issues of substitution. As of campaigns, we are ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to announce the date and programme for our campaigns, and speak to the issues. My idea of kick off will be the day we will do our first presidential rally where Mr. President as our candidate and other candidates, party leaders will assemble in a venue that will be agreeable to all of us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be two sets of messages. One, on what we have done in the past, without failing to remind people of where we were before, what we are going to do in the next three years, and a couple of things we believe we will be doing differently.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy we are a better choice? President Buhari if compared to the rest of the aspirants, there is no basis to compare day and night. The real issue in this election is not going to be religion. It is not going to be about political party, central to the issue and given our past experience as a country, we know that what makes a difference is the character, the issue of integrity of the candidates.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll those issues of character, especially looking at the past, the key candidates in the election are not strangers to governance, they are not even strangers to this villa, so we will be able to ask a couple of questions about what do they know now that they didn\u2019t know then when they had power.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis edition is going to be focusing on character, integrity of those who want to govern us. In addition to what and how they will do things differently.\u201d he said\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
