Atiku Abubakar

While speaking to newsmen shortly after addressing a mammoth crowd of party faithfuls and members of delegates at the PDP party secretariat in Katsina, 2019 Presidential Aspirant, Atiku Abubakar, who on Tuesday, stormed President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state, Katsina, said that Buhari must go in 2019.

According to Vanguard, the former Vice President and candidate in the forthcoming primaries of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), maintained that the country is better off under the PDP administration than an APC administration.

The Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, who disclosed that APC has destroyed the nation’s economy and crashed the nation’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP to 2%, added that the APC led government has no direction and bad policies resultant of poverty, hunger, unemployment experienced in the country at the moment.

Atiku said: “When this government came into office three years ago, it inherited a GDP of about 7%. In the very first year, they crashed it. Currently, we are under 2%. So virtually, they have destroyed the economy.

“In the process of destroying the economy, they have brought about unemployment. We have the highest rate of unemployment.

“Over 12 million young men and women are unemployed. And they have brought about insecurity. If it is not kidnapping, it is Boko Haram or terriorism more than they met when PDP was in office.

“And again, we have the highest level of disunity among Nigerians. Because they came in with a very narrow perspective of national presentation.

“I think these are four issues we need to tackle as a country and these are issues I intend to address,” he said.

When asked if he lost at the primaries whether he will defect to another party, Atiku said, “I am a democrat, i will work for my party to win the election. That is the most important thing which is for us to agree to return PDP to power.

“We have seen PDP, we have seen APC. And we see that we are better off under a PDP administration than APC administration. So the best thing for this country is to PDP administration,” Atiku stated.
