Tinubu's Aide Reacts As Supreme Court Fixes Date To Deliver Verdict In Atiku, Obi’s Appeals

The Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu has urged Nigerians to reject his counterparts in the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

Kachikwu  stated this while speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

The ADC candidate asked Nigerians to try a new presidential candidate by voting for him in the February 25 election.

The ADC stalwart opined that all three candidates have all held public offices in a failed nation, maintaining that choosing to vote any one of them into power would simply produce the same result as before.

According to him,”the popular opponents, have all held offices in the country and have nothing new to offer.
Kachikwu said, “If you take the trio of Asiwaju, Atiku, and Peter Obi, what they have in common is that they have all held office in Nigeria that is seen to be a failed nation.

“Nigerians must take a chance on trying something new. What we have experienced in the last eight years, can never be this bad. If we go with these people, we are continuing on this trajectory.”

Kachikwu also rubbished the endorsement of some of his opponents, questioning the yardstick used in testing the efficacy of the candidates when there has not been any serious debate on the issues facing the country.

Kachikwu said, “People are making endorsements based on nothing. If we have had the opportunity to robustly discuss our problems as Nigerians, Nigeria will be better for it. This is what we have seen at all times, Nigeria a country of almost 200 million people has not had the opportunity to do this.

“So, we enter this election and nobody has come to say that we have debated the housing problem in Nigeria, the infrastructural deficit. What do we do about tourism? What do we do about healthcare, education, and our economy? Nothing, nobody has had the opportunity to discuss these in detail and we are going into the election.

“So, when people on 25th February elect a president, what are they electing a president based on when they have not heard anyone speak critically to all the issues?”
