Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has urged Nigerians to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) and vote massively for the PDP.
He spoke in Kano on Thursday, during his party’s presidential campaign in the Northwestern State.
Atiku said as a Vice Presidential candidate, he is prepared to return Nigeria to the path of prosperity, banish poverty, pain and aimless leadership and give to the nation a purposeful leadership.
According to him, the APC has offered Nigerians nothing but misery, pain and more pains to Nigerians and have taken the country deeper into crisis than before.
He said issues such as border closure, insecurity and skyrocketing inflation are what could be brought under control by careful planning, adding that the PDP has done it before and would love to do it again. He said the PDP had led the country to the point where it was the best and leading economy in Africa, where the cost of living was competitive and affordable.
Atiku lauded Kano for coming enmasse for the PDP adding that they should continue to support the party and ensure they vote the party on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
Earlier, the National Chairman of the party Dr Iyorchia Ayu had thanked party faithful for their dogged commitment to the party.
He said the eight years of the APC has brought Nigeria to its knees urging all to believe in the PDP and its mission to rescue the country from its reckless drifting.
He said in the last three weeks, Nigerians have been visited by the worst kind of pain, due to the APC tactless leadership, adding that scarcity of funds and fuel have added to the pains of the country.
He said the country is is dire strait and everyone must continue to believe in Nigeria and rescue it from the hands of leaders who have sunk its fortunes deeper than they met it.
