The All Progressive Congress APC has asked whose Interest Does Atiku Presidency Bid Serve? The party stated these in a statement released on their social media accounts. Read full statement below.
Following the townhall meeting, #thecandidatesng, attended by the Presidential candidate of PDP Atiku and running mate Peter Obi a redefinition of their campaign slogan, "Let's loot Nigeria again" is now trending.
Going by Atiku and Obi's shocking confession that their administration will grant amnesty to looters, we are equally shocked & hereby align with the wide section of Nigerians who are now abundantly clear of their intentions if elected and now see the collective need to stop them.
Other News: See surprised response Dele Momodu got after tweeting about Atiku/Obi performance at 'The Candidates'.
Atiku and PDP insistence to take us through this dangerous route where the nation's economic policies & programmes are driven by the interests of leaders, their local friends & foreign partners constitute a present danger every well-meaning Nigerian must rise against.
The choices before Nigerians cannot be more clearer.
Those who have looted our resources, stolen monies meant to build roads, rails & ports, provide regular & stable electricity for our homes & businesses, provide quality healthcare, create environment conducive for ordinary Nigerians to unleash their creativity & industry and for all Nigerians to live a rewarding & prosperous lives are working to take charge again. It is disturbing that Atiku & his running mate, Peter Obi, could boldly face the national and global audience boasting that the future of our country belongs to the looters.
As a matter of fact, Atiku repeatedly told a bewildered nation that those who caused poverty, unemployment, poor infrastructure & misery for many Nigerians under his watch as the VP would be left to enjoy our commonwealth as long as they turned in part of what they have stolen.
This no doubt must have gladdened the hearts of all the enemies of our country.
In a barefaced manner, the PDP's Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku promised to roll out the red carpet for people who have wickedly teamed up with him under PDP to ruin our country, in an environment such as ours, where many ordinary Nigerians, not being Atiku's friends, are wallowing in prison for stealing their neighbours' goats, phones, foods and such.
While Atiku tries to crowd the public space with falsehood on the ongoing fight against corruption and efforts to ensure credible 2019 general elections, the real issue remains Atiku’s inexplicable desperation to selloff remaining national economic assets to his friends and shadowy foreign concerns as Atiku did in the past & severally & brazenly promised in his campaigns.
From Atiku’s so-called Dubai strategy meeting, the US excursion to his recent letters to some foreign countries calling for their intervention in the 2019 elections, the big question before Nigerians has now been answered by Atiku: His spirited attempt to get foreign validation for his floundering presidential bid is not to serve Nigerians but to pander to the wishes of his friends, and some shadowy foreign concerns and interests.
President Buhari administration has pursued a foreign policy based on mutual cooperation with the global community. The result has been our restored respect and standing in comity of progressive nations.
This has also resulted in successes we have recorded in the fight against insurgency, improvement in our previously dilapidated infrastructure & failed economy. These were surely not achieved by mortgaging of national assets for int. support or rent-seeking by friends.
Atiku’s bid to trade national assets as an incentive for the support of his friends and foreign investors must be resisted.
For the APC, we would not get tired of reminding the PDP and Atiku that Nigerians will never return to Egypt. The era of unbridled corruption & impunity is one mission the President Buhari-led govt is determined to FIGHT and WIN under a credible electoral process.
