The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said he is on a rescue mission to save Nigeria
from sinking further.
Speaking in Damaturu, Yobe State, on Wednesday during the PDP
presidential campaign, the former vice-president berated the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) for dragging the country backward since it was
voted in 2015, adding that APC is a failure.
The PDP presidential candidate, who was hailed by
mammoth crowd of party’s supporters, lamented that the APC had misgoverned the
country by making promises which were not fulfilled.
According to Atiku, “In 2015 the APC promised us
security which they failed to provide. They promised us food on our table, but
today we are hungry. They promised us good health facility and adequate supply
of drugs in our hospitals which they also failed to do.”
He said despite their promise to make things better,
they have made worse.
Atiku added that in the provision of security, they
have failed, “they failed to create jobs for our teeming youths and today,
inflation has taken over,” adding that instead of admitting their failings,
they continue to tell the people of these country lies.
The PDP presidential candidate declared that: “The
PDP has come to rescue the people of the country from the suffering which the
APC has put us into.”
Also speaking at the rally, the National Chairman of the PDP,
Prince Uche Secondus, urged Nigerians to vote for Atiku in order to rescue the country
from hunger.
He said: “The country is currently suffering from hunger and
insecurity. There is a need for a competent and well experienced Nigerian to
come on board to save us. As we are all aware, Nigeria is in distress and we
are in dire need of a well-connected leader to rescue us.”
In his address, the Director General of Atiku
Campaign organisation, Mr. Buba Galadima, urged youths, women to vote President
Muhammadu Buhari and the APC out of power in the next general election, adding
that APC had failed to deliver on all its 2015 campaign promises.
He said: “The APC promised Nigeria a lot of things.
They promised us security. Then we have security problems not only in the
North-east, but have now extended to North Central and even the Northwest. APC
has failed because security has worsened.”
Galadima also stated that people are dying of hunger because
the economy has gone terribly bad, saying: “Hunger is serious affecting people in
the country today. Nigeria is today the world poverty capital.
“We need a
president that will fix the economy, create jobs and unite Nigerians,” “This
APC government must go because events of the past three years have shown that
they don’t have solutions to all these problems. We must vote this government
out and elect Atiku as our next president.
“My people
of Yobe State and Northeast we must vote out Buhari. Atiku is the solution to
Nigeria’s problem.”
The PDP leader noted that the people in crowd seen
today in Yobe State, “are our genuine supporters and that is a
clear indication that people are tired of the current government.
"We are here to receive your blessings and
permission to talk to our people and seek their votes for Atiku and Peter Obi.”
