APGA's Gbor says he will make every Nigerian happy if elected President in 2019

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), John Gbor, has urged Nigerians to vote for him in the 2019 presidential election so he can reunite the country and make everyone happy.

While speaking during an interview in Abuja on Saturday, November 17, 2018, Gbor, a retired Major General, said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have failed Nigerians and left them to suffer with a streak of terrible governance.

He said next year's election is an opportunity for Nigerians to choose between sticking with the past or forging a new future with him at the helm. He urged Nigerians to ignore President Muhammadu Buhari of APC and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, of the PDP who are both frontline candidates for the election.

He said, "Nigeria has a choice. Buhari has emerged as APC candidate while Atiku has emerged as PDP candidate and I have emerged as presidential candidate for APGA.

"You have a choice. If you want, vote for Buhari and go down as a nation. If you want, vote for Atiku when you know that PDP has already failed Nigerians.

"If Nigerians want a change, they should vote for me. Nigerians should make their choice.

"I am coming to save and recreate Nigeria just like Gowon did. I am coming from the Middle Belt just like Gowon to reunite this country and make it one indivisible nation where everybody is happy."
