We Realised In 2015 That Unless We Come Together, The PDP Will Succeed In Killing Nigeria- Buhari

Buhari made this assertion during the launch of a book, titled: ‘From Opposition to Governing Party: Nigeria’s APC Merger Story,’ written by one of the founding fathers of the APC, now Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.
