According to the PDP, the situation was so pathetic that a discomfited President Buhari could not articulate any message to support his re-election bid but told Nigerians to vote for any candidate of their choice in the general election.
The PDP said, “It was pitiable to
watch Mr. President garble, as the audience who refused to carry APC
broom also remained passive, while many started leaving the venue while
he was still presenting his address.
“Ironically, President
confessed that he had nothing new to tell Nigerians. If anything, the
APC Presidential candidate, in his party’s usual penchant for false
performance claims, alluded to a non-existent ‘market money’ which
elicited heckles from the audience.
“The fact that a sitting
President cannot attract a meaningful audience from the same state where
a mammoth and overflowing crowd received Atiku Abubakar, just a week
ago, further confirms that Nigerians, across the board, have indeed
attained a consensus to return the PDP to power, come February 16, 2019.
“The
PDP therefore charges President Buhari to counsel himself, end his
desperation for power and spend the remaining days to prepare his hand
over notes to Atiku Abubakar, so that our nation can be returned to the
path of peace, national cohesion and economic prosperity, which has
eluded us in almost four years.”
