• Nigerians must sack APC –Wike
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has formally declared intent to contest for the presidency in 2019.
Atiku made his intention known in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, yesterday.
This was just as Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Wike, declared that Nigerians must take up the solemn responsibility of
sacking the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government next
year.
All
these occurred at the Government House, Port Harcourt, during Atiku’s
visit; to consult with leaders of the People’s Democratic Party in the
state.
Atiku
said he is offering himself to set the country on the path of growth,
after the serial failure of the APC and that since 2015, the APC-led
federal government has destroyed the education, health and
infrastructural sectors through poor budgetary allocations and
releases.
He said: “Since 2015, we have not seen a 100 kilometres constructed by the APC federal government anywhere in the country.”
The former vice president said that the APC has destroyed the foundation of unity and cohesion of the country.
“I
have never seen Nigeria so divided along religious, ethnic and regional
lines. This division is as a result of the mismanagement of the APC,”
said Atiku.
The presidential hopeful called on Rivers PDP
stakeholders to support his ambition to emerge as the party’s
presidential candidate.
On his part, Wike urged PDP members, irrespective
of their status, to ensure that the march to the Presidential Villa is
not truncated by disunity.
He urged PDP presidential aspirants to contest
within acceptable limits, as the race is not a do-or-die affair but a
movement to oust the APC.
Said Wike: “Every presidential aspirant must see
himself as a member of the larger PDP family. We must do everything
to ensure that PDP returns to the presidential villa in 2019.
“Only one aspirant will become a candidate. We will
do everything to ensure that the party comes out with a candidate that
has a track record to upstage the APC.”
