Presidential Candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has woed the APC led government for sinking the fortunes of Nigeria.
The former vice president wooed the APC while speaking during PDP presidential campaign flagged off on Monday in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.
He hinted on how the PDP brought the country from bottom to top upon assumption of power in 1999.
Atiku said the All Progressives Congress (APC) have reversed the gains of democracy.
Addressing a massive crowd of party supporters inside the Godswill Akpabio Stadium the presidential flag bearer of the PDP said the APC has brought poverty, insecurity, lack of jobs and disunity.
He, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to vote for PDP to restore progress and unity in the country.
“When PDP came to power in 1999, we met Nigeria in a state of poverty, insecurity and lack of education. We lifted Nigeria from the bottom to the top. We became the biggest economy in Africa, we had peace, and we progressed. Then Nigerians said they wanted change and they voted for change in 2015.
“What we have seen is poverty, insecurity, lack of jobs and disunity. Our children are no longer going to school.
Today as we inaugurate the flag-off of the campaign to rescue Nigeria, to rescue Nigeria from hunger, to rescue Nigeria from poverty and bring back the unity we are lacking in this country, I want to appeal to all Nigerians to vote for PDP. If you vote for PDP, it will be a vote for prosperity, it will be a vote for unity, and it will be a vote for your safety. So, there will be no more hunger and there will be security”, he said.
