The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade
Adams Oshiomhole, has urged Nigerians to reject the presidential
candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
saying that he would sell Nigeria if he is elected president.
He
noted that PDP is the architect of the present economic hardship
Nigerians were passing through and urged the masses to reject him during
the February 16, presidential election.
Oshiomhole disclosed
this on Friday during the official flag-off of Governor Simon Lalong’s
re-election campaign, held at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium Jos,
Plateau.
The chairman also received defectors from the PDP, led
by ex-factional Chairman of National Football Association (NFA), Chris
Giwa, while chairmen of 45 political parties in the state endorsed
Buhari and Lalong for the 2019 elections.
He urged the defectors
to join the re-enforcement of the power of the broom in providing
quality and purposeful leadership in the country.
“The PDP has
business men as presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate.
Atiku said he will sell Nigeria. He has said that he will sell the NNPC
if elected president.
“I urged Nigerians not to support the sale
of Nigeria by the PDP. You must say no to Atiku. His running mate, Peter
Obi, does not have respect for the truth.”
Governor Simon
Lalong, who was presented with APC flag to contest the governorship
election in the state said he could die for President Buhari because of
his commitment towards tackling insecurity in Plateau and the bail-out
he supported him to clear workers salary.
“People asked why was I
dying for Buhari and I told them that I will die for Buhari because he
is my helper. He has help in addressing insecurity in Plateau and gave
us bail-out to clear worker’s salaries, there is nothing more than that;
he will win Plateau far better than 2015.”
Director General,
Buhari Campaign Organisation and Minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Rotimi
Ameachi, described Lalong as a humble person who is living on his
campaign promises.
He blamed the PDP for dwelling their campaign
on the fact that Nigerians were hungry and said if they had left the N2
billion they stole, Nigeria wouldn’t have been importing rice today.
Ameachi
said PDP was not honest that was why they emptied the country’s
treasury and urged Nigerians to vote out PDP even in hunger.
“The
next election is not about Buhari and Atiku; it should be about what
PDP has done in 16 years and what APC has done in three years. Buhari is
addressing the problem of Nigeria and very soon we will overcome the
present challenges.”
Wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, who
was represented by former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, Dame Pauline
Tallen, said a vote for Buhari and Lalong is a vote for the development
of Nigeria and Plateau State.
She admonished women and youths in
Plateau State to mobilise massive votes for the president and all APC
candidates during the 2019 general elections.
Northern Vice
Chairman, of the Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation, Sen. Gorge
Akume, described Buhari as a professor of infrastructure in Nigeria
He,
Buhari, worked tirelessly to frustrate the third-term agenda champion
by the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, and said the president had
the masses as his business partners.
He noted that there was no
one that was contesting against President Muhammadu Buhari, saying Atiku
Abubakar would fail the election.
