According to Premium Times, the statement was issued on March 2, 2015, by Jasper Azuatalam, chairman of the group.
The Buhari Vanguard said in it that they had become “extremely concerned” over the safety of the APC candidate.
“We cannot close our eyes and pretend that we do not see danger. We suspect that the PDP and the Presidency must be up to something sinister and may just be watering the ground for a soft landing when it is finally executed.
“We express fear that some people may be targeting to assassinate Gen Muhammadu Buhari and turn round to claim that it is their prophecy fulfilled.”
The group also recollected the last year accident when Buhari narrowly escaped death when his convoy was attacked by a suicide bomber two days after he had accused the President of not doing enough to ensure the security of lives and properties of Nigerians.
“President Jonathan set up an inquiry into the attack, but we have not heard anything about the inquiry till date,” Azuatalam added.
According to the Buhari Vanguard, the recent paid advertorials on national newspapers by some prominent PDP members predicting Buhari’s death are also a part of their plot.
“The spokesperson of the President Jonathan’s 2015 campaign has severely turned into a prophet of doom by prophesying the death and incapacitation of Gen Muhammadu Buhari.
“They have forged false medical reports claiming that Gen Buhari has a terminal sickness. They have spread rumours of death and incapacitation about Gen Muhammadu Buhari when there is no sign of fever in Buhari,” the chairman said.
The Buhari Vanguard also wondered why there were so many false speculations and rumors about the APC presidential candidate’s health after he had contested in three general election and “remained healthy and strong”.
Finishing its statement the group called on Nigerians and the international community to “keep an eye” on the Presidency and the PDP regarding Buhari’s safety.
“The PDP and Presidency have almost exhausted all avenues to stop Gen Buhari from contesting the 2015 general elections, now they are scheming to scuttle the whole election in its entirety.
“Who can tell if the only option remaining to stop change in Nigeria will not be to assassinate the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen Muhammadu Buhari.”
Recently, one of Buhari’s supporters, the governor of Kano state, expressed his assurance that the APC presidential candidate is in better health than President Goodluck Jonathan.
“By my judgement, since we finished our party primary elections, he is sound, hale and fit to rule this country.
“In fact I feel he is healthier than the incumbent occupier of the seat because he went to all the states on campaigns in addition to other engagements that come in between,” Rabiu Kwankwaso said."
