The Former Vice President of Nigeria and the People’s Democracy Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar said the All Progressives Congress (APC) ruling party is a party of deceivers and blindfolded Nigerians to stricken poverty.
Atiku said this while addressing hundreds of Youths championing his political ambition at Lamido Cinema in Yola Adamawa his home state, endorsing him for 2019 successor of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The party deceived all Nigerians, including me,we should not vote the party that cannot give you jobs, they succeeded in bringing stricken poverty to every Nigerian, I therefore urge you to vote Buhari out.” Atiku said
“Buhari must go!!!!” He added
The Youths organised a Road Show programme for him by one of his support groups, Atiku/Obi Vanguard for Good Governance, which urged him to fight hard and defeat Buhari in the 2019 elections.
Atiku reechoed the need to vote out Buhari to his supporters as the best option for Nigeria as his government did not provide anything tangible to Nigerian Youths but only to inflict untold pains and so much suffering for the country.
Atiku who was in attended at the event said Buhari had failed the country in too many ways and the youths had it as their duty to vote him out. He chanted as the supporters cheered, “Buhari must go! Buhari must go!â€
He reiterated his commitment to high participation of youths and women in his government should he win election and become president, specifying that youths would get 40 percent participation and women 30 percent.
Earlier in his address, the Coordinator of Atiku Obi Vanguard for Good Governance, Bar Leader Teneka, said so many negative things had happened since Buhari became president that he ought to be voted out.
“It is no longer news that our country has been designated world extreme poverty capital. And we’ve been declared one of the most dangerous countries to be born in. It is also no longer news that massive and unabated corruption continues to fester. We are more divided as a country now than we have ever been,†Teneka said, urging his fellow youths to rally for Atiku and ensure his election as the next president.
