Nigeria never had horrible govt like in APC’s 7 years – Atiku

By Tunde Opalana

Lamenting the state of the Nigerian nation, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday, said the nation has never been horrible like in the seven years of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.

He said in a personally signed statement on Sunday that concerted efforts must be made by Nigerians to reverse the trend by rescuing the country through the ballot.

Calling on compatriots, he said: “I have said this before and I am repeating it here: the next year’s election is a national rescue mission. As citizens of this great country, we owe Nigeria a duty to vote in the election and every ballot cast in that election should count as a referendum on the ruling All Progressives Congress.

“My idea about politics is that it is a system of processes that seeks to organise a society towards a common good. But what the APC has done with us as a country in the past 7 years is a direct opposite of that.

According to the former vice president, throughout the 16 years that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party governed the country, “not a single day came with a nightmare that the APC has continued to make us live through, DailyTimesNGR gathered.

“Taking Nigeria out of the cesspit that the APC has thrown us into will require a leadership with forthrightness and a clear vision to chart a new direction into a future of prosperity and peace – the very mantra of our anthem. We should not reward the APC for their failures and we should reject a discredited leadership with no clear agenda.”

He pleaded with the citizenry to do their little part in rescuing this country by “telling other Nigerians in your circle of friends and family to be part of our journey towards rebuilding Nigeria to a country of one people with one future will do a lot in restoring this great country to its glory.”
