The Director General, Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council in kwara State, Dr. Mahmud Babatunde Ajeigbe has declared that All Progressive Congress, APC, government has failed Nigerians on all it’s campaign promises.
Speaking with Journalists in Ilorin, the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) chief presidential campaigner said, the APC government has failed in the three basic issues that the party used to ride to power, namely corruption, insecurity and of course the economy.
He said the government has grossly displayed lack of capacity to address the numerous challenges facing the country, by allowing eight years of failed infrastructure, heightened insecurity, increased corruption and failed promises, thereby creating hopelessness in the nation.
Ajeigbe observed that Nigerians were fed up with failed promises, maladministration and the people are getting ready to reject APC rulership at all levels of governance via electoral polls in the forthcoming general election in Nigeria.
“As we speak, APC administration is a government that is already outgoing because the ruling party has not been able to deliver good governance, it has rather bring untold hardship to the people as a result of incompetency.”
“The simplest example you asked yourself, if you could buy a bag of rice between #8,000 and #9,000 in 2015 and today you are buying the same bag of rice at # 47,000 despite all policies put in place by the APC government,” he said.
The PDP stalwart who expressed confidence in the ability of the current major opposition party to efficiently and effectively address the various challenges bedeviling the country when it get back to power , said PDP remains the best option that can drive Nigeria to greatness, considering it’s past achievements while in power, between 1999 and 2015.
He added that aside the preparedness and readiness of his party to dislodge the APC government, the PDP presidential candidate, former vice president Atiku Abubakar is blessed with the required experience, wisdom and capacity that can efficiently address challenges that the nation is confronted with under the watch of APC.
According to him “Aside that, you would recall that between 1999 and 2015 when PDP ruled Nigeria, the PDP government had the best projected goal for the country. Though, few mistakes were made that made it lost power in 2015.
” However, from all indications, PDP has been redesigned and repositioned to address the future that Nigerians need. Also remember that we had the least rancorous primaries among other major political parties in the country and our candidates are well positioned.
” I assure you that the best set of people that can be able to return this country back to the path of sustainable economy, improved security and reduced corruption, is the candidates of PDP. Our party is the only one that understands the politics. It has been tested, it has been in power before and it knows all correction that is necessary,” he said.
