The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has announced that its campaign for 2019 elections will kick off in
Sokoto state on Monday.
Senate President Bukola Saraki,
director-general of the party’s campaign council, said this at the inaugural
press briefing of the council.
The PDP inaugurated the council,
made up of 153 members, on Thursday.
Saraki raised 10 questions,
saying if Nigerians cannot give positive answers to them, they should vote out
the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019.
The questions ranged across
economy, security, employment and the rule of law.
He said: “ISSUES: For Nigerians,
in 2019, the issues that have to be addressed are:
“Is the economy better or worse?
Are more people richer or poorer than they were in 2015? c) Are there more
people suffering from hunger now than in 2015? Have there been more job losses
now than in 2015? Are our people safer now than they were in 2015?
“Are our military and other
security agencies better equipped or motivated to tackle the Boko Haram
insurgency and other security challenges than in 2015? Is the country more
united now than it was in 2015? Is the infrastructure in the country better
than it was in 2015?
“Is there less corruption in the
country than in 2015? Is the fight against been fair to all or a tool deployed
against political opponents? Are people deriving the benefits of the Rule of
Law and personal liberty as enshrined in the constitution now than in 2015?”
These are some of the issues that
will determine the trend of the campaign and we believe they should guide
Nigerians in making their decisions during the 2019 elections. An election is a
referendum on the incumbent.
“If Nigerians are unable to
answer any of these questions positively, they must vote out the incumbent.”
