Senate President, Dr Bukola
Saraki has said the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government
under President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to deliver on the promises of
reviving the economy, ensuring security of lives and property, tackling
corruption and providing employment.
Saraki, who stated this on
Thursday during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential campaign rally
at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, urged the electorate in Delta State to
come out en masse and vote out President Muhammadu Buhari on February 16.
He said: “You have to come out
and vote because it is time to change the direction of this country. They told
us that the economy will be better, that they will provide security and
employment, but the present Federal Government has failed on all fronts. It is
time to chase them out and vote in Atiku (Abubakar).”
“This is not a personal matter;
Atiku will provide jobs because he believes in the rule of law, which is very
important in attracting investment,” Saraki stated.
Speaking also, the National
chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, described the presidential candidate (Atiku
Abubakar) as an energetic man with the capacity to lead the country out of it’s
current challenges.
“Atiku can engage. He will
provide security, improve the economy and ensure that our youths and women are
gainfully employed,” he said.
Secondus cautioned officials of
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agents
against colluding with the Federal Government to rig the fast approaching
elections.
“I know that there are good
people in INEC, and we also know that the Federal Government is pressurising
INEC to rig the election. If they rig the election, they will be inviting war,
and we are ready for it.
“We also believe that the
security agents will obey the Constitution and remain neutral during the
elections. But if they collude with the Federal Government to rig the election,
they will be inviting war. I want to urge us to come out and vote, protect the
votes and ensure that it count so that Buhari can be chased out,” he added.
Secondus noted that President Buhari
was not in charge of the affairs of the country, stating that a cabal was
rather in charge. He said Atiku will be fully in charge and take responsibility
for every action.
Welcoming the presidential
campaign team, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa said Delta was a peace loving state
which, according to him, has resulted in the building of bridges of friendship
and partnerships.
Okowa said Delta State was
prepared to vote PDP candidates from the House of Assembly to the Presidency,
saying that the programme of the party would ensure unity, progress and
prosperity for the country.
