The
Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, on
Sunday pointed out why Nigerians should not vote for President Muhammadu Buhari
in the forthcoming February election.
Abubakar
lamented that Buhari has “ruined the nation’s economy,” adding that “Nigeria
has never had it so bad since independence”, hence the need to vote him out.
He also
urged Nigerians not to allow President Buhari to “steal their votes in the
February 16, 2019 Presidential election.”
He gave the
call during an interactive session with some youth groups, social media
influencers and bloggers in Abuja and was contained in a statement issued by
PDP spokesperson, Kola ogbondiyan.
The Waziri
of Adamawa lamented that the Buhari administration has “wrecked the nation and
must be voted out for the nation to thrive again.”
Abubakar, a
former Vice President said the “desperate attempts by the Buhari Presidency to
manipulate the electoral process, including the foisting of President Buhari’s
relation to head the collation of Presidential election results as well as
hounding of judicial officers, are all geared to enable President Buhari steal
votes in the election.”
According to
him, “President Buhari has stolen your jobs. He has stolen your rights. Don’t
let him steal your votes. They are preparing the ground to steal your votes. I
know that Nigerians are ready to ‘Get Nigeria Working Again’, but don’t let
President Buhari steal your votes.
“Nigeria has
never been in such a bad shape as we have today, not even during the civil war.
Things are really bad. We have never had the economy this bad and the nation
has not been so insecure as we are under the Buhari administration. That is why
we all must work together to rescue our nation and make it work again”.
Atiku also
urged Nigerians not to “despair as he has already perfected templates that
would ensure rapid economic recovery, massive employment opportunity and strategic
avenues for empowerment of Nigerians in all sectors of life.”
