Presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has accused Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo of running a self-indicting campaign ahead of the 2019
polls.
Atiku, said this while reacting
to a charge by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Nigerians to ignore empty
promises.
He spoke while carrying out a
door-to-door campaign in Lagos last Sunday.
But, Atiku speaking through his
media assistant, Paul Ibe in a statement, said by failing to deliver on the
2015 electioneering promises, the Vice President has told Nigerians to reject
the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2019.
Atiku further warned Nigerians to
be wary of “broken promises, urging Nigerians to take a moment to reflect on
his campaign blueprint and hold him accountable for every item listed therein.”
Ibe said: “Osinbajo is running a
self-indicting campaign for his boss and himself. How can they ask Nigerians to
beware of empty promises when they are the ones that made the promises?
“Come on, do these people think
Nigerians are fools? They promised to create three million jobs in a year but
we are witnessing job losses in millions since they took over. They promised to
make a naira equal to the dollar but a dollar is almost N400 today.
“They promised to bring
insecurity down on its knees but as I am talking to you now, Zamfara is on
fire. Soldiers in large numbers were recently killed. One of our finest former
Defence Chiefs, Air Marshal Alex Badeh was a few days ago killed very close to
the nation’s capital.
“Do not forget that under this
administration, some Nigerians took their lives, unable to put up with what
life suddenly threw at them. I can go on and on, but Nigerians know what to do
when the time comes.”
He called on eligible voters to
trust the PDP flag bearer with their mandate, stating that after making a
success of his public office career office as well as his foray in business,
Atiku would not disappoint in replicating the same feat if voted into power.
“In Let’s Get Nigeria Working
Again (Atiku’s blueprint), our candidate will restore hope and make Nigeria
proud again. We are asking Nigerians to trust this man who has proven beyond
doubt, his capacity to deliver at the big stage. He is not a converted democrat.
He is a born democrat, not one who got converted because the old road was
closed,” he added.
