Ahead of the 2023 general elections where the fight will be between the the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC), the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has again said that the ruling APC was never prepared to lead the nation when it took overpower in 2015.
The presidential flag bearer of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in the 2019 general elections, which he ‘lost’ narrowly disclosed this during the national convention of the party in Abuja.
Atiku argued that the responsibility of restoring the glory of Nigeria remains in the hands of the PDP who understands what it means to lead a nation as a political party, adding that the victory of the party is the victory of Nigerians. Atiku stated that Nigeria is presently at a critical juncture and called on all politicians to work together to return Nigerians to the part of growth and development.
He said, “The APC has proven itself to be unequipped to lead the nation. They have shown themselves to be corrupt, in fact, the most corrupt, sectional, and divisive party that was never prepared to lead this country. The APC has no idea what it takes to lead a diverse, multiethnic, and multi-religious country like Nigeria like the PDP.
“The responsibility, therefore, is for us to arrest the downward spiral of the Nigerian nation and save the country from even greater calamities. This is our collective responsibility. We must set aside our differences. We must bring forth our brightest lights and position ourselves to rescue, restore and rebuild the foundation.”
