"I have done it before in a different system and from 1999 till now, I am sure you know what happened and what has been happening. I believe what Nigerians needs now is to be secured and efficiently managed.

"This is the APC stand and I will like to use the opportunity through my party, through the system to secure and efficiently manage Nigeria.

"Of course, it is not being managed. It is up to the party and it is up to the people".

On the consensus arrangement being planned by the leadership of APC during the forthcoming presidential primary, Gen. Buhari said, "We want a fair playing ground for everybody, let Nigerians be given the impression and let them believe that they do matter".

"All these efforts to salvage them is for them and the country but if there is consensus agreement, it is well and good. It would safe time and resources but if people insist in making sure that all those that wanted to lead should present themselves and let the people decide,m it is all well and good. The system allows it".

On the withdrawal of former governor of Kwara state and senator representing Kwara central senatorial district at the national assembly, Senator Bukola Saraki from APC presidential primary, Gen. Buhari said, "I read it in the newspapers, I didn't beg him to leave it for me but it is his own decision".
