Nigerians Responsible For Their Own Woes For Voting APC Into Power – Atiku

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has blamed Nigerians for the current challenges facing the country.

He stated this on Tuesday during a meeting with leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at the Christian Ecumenical Centre in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The former Vice President accused Nigerians of being responsible for their own woes for voting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to power in 2015.

Atiku stated that the APC did not keep promises made to Nigerians eight years ago, insisting that the party has failed to tackle insecurity, restructure the country, and fight corruption.

The PDP Presidential candidate said it was incumbent on Nigerians to vote the ruling party out after plunging the country into troubled waters and return the PDP to power in 2023.

Atiku said that there is a difference between the government that ran the country from 1999 to 2015 and the government running the country from 2015 to date.

He said. “You must realise that there is a difference between the government that ran this country from 1999 to 2015 and the government that has been running this country from 2015 till date.

“One example I want to give you; they said they need restructuring, did they restructure? So they told Nigerians what they wanted to hear and did a different thing when they got the opportunity. PDP is not like that.

“I stand before you here not to campaign but to tell you the honest truth, what you have presented to us is what I have always believed in, and if I have the opportunity, I swear to God, I will do it.

“The fundamental front lines that we have seen in the last seven to eight years only occurred because you wanted to change in 2015, and you elected the change you are seeing and experiencing now.”
