Presidential standard bearer of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has described the All Progressives Congress
(APC) as an evil political party that had ushered in poverty in Nigeria.
Atiku made the comment on Tuesday at the Dan Anyiam
Stadium, Owerri, capital of Imo State, during the South-east rally of the
party, urging Nigerians to reject the APC and cast their votes for the PDP for
them to have their future guaranteed.
At the rally which was attended by the National Chairman
of the party, Uche Secondus; Atiku's running mate, Peter Obi; Senate President,
Bukola Saraki; his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu; governors of Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia States,
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu respectively; Imo State
governorship standard bearer of the party, Emeka Ihedioha; former Secretary to
the Federal Government (SFG), Anyim Pius
Anyim, among others, Atiku, urged Nigerians to ensure that they cast and
protect their votes, accusing the ruling party of plan to rig the elections.
"APC is evil and (bad) party. Do not vote for
them. Vote for PDP. They have turned this country to headquarters of poverty in
the world," he said.
According to him, if the PDP is enthroned, the
country would be restructured and the economy resuscitated.
He appealed that Nigerians should cast their votes
from those contesting from "bottom to top and from top to bottom."
In their speeches Obi, Secondus and other speakers
said the candidates of the PDP are strong enough to represent them adequately.
The speakers contended that from all indications,
the registered electors were ready to bring back the PDP to power.
