We’ve never had it this horrible as APC’s 7 years — Atiku

The presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has said that Nigeria has never had it this horrible as the All Progressives Congress (APC) seven years term in office.

Atiku, who said that the 2023 election will be a national rescue mission, added that taking Nigeria out of the cesspit that the APC has thrown the nation into will require leadership with forthrightness and a clear vision.

The former Vice President, in a statement sent to our correspondent, 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 the direct opposite of that.

In the 16 years that our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party governed this country, not a single day came with a nightmare that the APC has continued to make us live through.

“Taking Nigeria out of the cesspit that the APC has thrown us into will require 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.

“May I plead with you to do your little part in rescuing this country? 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,” he said.   (Daily Independent)
