APC Presidential Candidate ,Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has warned Nigerians not to get enthralled and belief in the promises the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar had made since he began his campaign trail a few weeks ago, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned the Director of Media & Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Bayo Onanuga in a statement on Sunday said Atiku should be ashamed of his party’s record in office.
It will be recalled that Atiku had at the PDP presidential campaign rally in Abuja asserted that the only time Nigerians had it good since the current democratic dispensation began was when the party was in power.
Tinubu has however submitted that Atiku was ‘embellishing the locust years as if it was a golden era in our history’.
‘We need to warn Nigerians to be wary of the sugar-coated promises of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as they embark on their inordinate and desperate campaign to gain power at all cost.
A party that should be eternally shameful about its appalling record in governance between 1999 and 2015 is now busy rewriting history, embellishing the locust years as if it was a golden era in our history.
Of course, this is fake history at its worse. We are not fooled. Nigerians should also not be fooled about the boldfaced lies, being articulated by the candidate and his party.
What is more shocking is Atiku’s audacity in standing up to ask for our votes despite what his boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo wrote about him in his book, ‘My Watch’. Obasanjo wrote that it would have been an unpardonable mistake and a sin against God to foist him on Nigeria’. Obasanjo still believes so till tomorrow.
Obasanjo still rues till today making Atiku his vice president in 1999, only to discover later, his shadowy parentage, his propensity to corruption, his tendency to disloyalty, his inability to say and stick to the truth all the time, a propensity for poor judgment, his belief and reliance on marabouts, his lack of transparency, his trust in money to buy his way out on all issues and his readiness to sacrifice morality, integrity, propriety, truth and national interest for self and selfish interest. We are, however, not totally surprised about Atiku’s latest desperation’ the statement said.
‘Atiku is aware that this is his last shot at the elusive presidency.
He claimed at his rally in Abuja on Saturday that the country is not secure for trading and farming, a false narrative that he has been pushing around for some time, since he relocated to Nigeria from his base in Dubai, principally to contest the election.
We believe that Atiku in his private moment, will concede that his view about insecurity is exaggerated. Our country is certainly better secure than in 2015 when the PDP allowed insurgents to seize 17 local councils in Borno and some four councils in Atiku’s home state of Adamawa State, when Abuja was under constant bomb attacks and people slept with eyes wide open.
What further proof of progress made by the APC does Atiku need than the fact that he was able, recently, to carry his party men and women to Maiduguri to hold a rally, without any attacks by insurgents and bandits. Atiku can also drive smoothly from Yola, his state capital to Jada, his home town on a reconstructed road by the Buhari-led APC administration.
The road was impassable for the 8 years that Atiku was the Vice President and got progressively bad and totally cut off from civilization until the Buhari government reconstructed it’ the statement added- Team@orientactualmags.com
