Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former Vice President, has pledged to reverse the ugly trend that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has set.
Atiku made the pledge in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State at the PDP flag-off of the 2023 presidential campaign on Monday, October 10, 2022.
The Waziri Adamawa who reaffirmed his commitment to rescuing Nigeria from the bad leadership of the APC recalled that during the time PDP held sway, the country was better positioned in all areas of national life than what currently obtains.
He stated, “The APC has failed this country in all areas including security, economy, and education among others.
“During the time when the PDP was in power, Nigerians knew relative stability in our economy and the issue of insecurity was not terrible like we have it today.
“That is why we are campaigning to rescue this country from the bad leadership that the APC has taken us to. We must rescue Nigeria because it is obvious that we cannot afford another opportunity for the APC to take us further in the tracks that they have set.
“We must return the PDP during the elections because the PDP is the only political party with a proven track record and capability to reverse the ugly trend that the APC has set.
“The most important job before the next president of this country will be to unify the country and none of the other candidates in this election can make a claim of doing that better than me and the principles of inclusion that the PDP stands for,” Atiku said.
In his remarks, PDP National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu said the party shall be entering this campaign as one entity.
“The train of the PDP has moved and while the train has left the station, we will be ready to stop the train to take in new people who, for one reason or another, are not here with us today, Ayu added.
