Feb 25: It’s payback time for APC, Tinubu – Atiku

Ahead of Saturday’s presidential election, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar’s Campaign Organisation has vowed to deal with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu for alleged misrule of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Atiku campaign in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, Tuesday, urged Nigerians to recompense the APC with a humiliating defeat for its wickedness by voting for Atiku.

He stressed that Nigerians cannot afford to gloss over the alleged horrible experiences which they have been made to endure in almost eight years of APC.

He stated, “Nigerians should approach the ballot box with a determination to repay the APC and Tinubu for the devastation they caused our country by opening her to terrorists and marauders to kill and maim our compatriots, rape our women and took Nigerians into slavery in their own country; the APC took pleasure in watching the killing of innocent Nigerians, including the massacre of our youths during the EndSars Protest of October 2020; the APC also turned our nation into a large killing field, brought a near fascist regime and foisted a terrible siege mentality on the people.

“Our citizens must remember how the APC plundered our national treasury, imposed policies that ruined the value of our Naira, imposed heavy taxes and unjustified increase in tariffs for essential goods and services, triggered astronomical rise in the cost of food and indispensable commodities, reduced the purchasing power of citizens, unimaginably turned industrious Nigerians to beggars and brought so much anguish that Nigerians resorted to suicide and slavery mission abroad as options.

“In the almost seven and half years of the APC administration, Tinubu and his co-travellers in the APC are reported to have used his various Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) companies to fritter over N14 trillion from our revenue generating agencies, part of which have been used to acquire choice property apart from those stashed away in vaults and bullion vans for vote buying purposes.

“Nigerians must on February 25 remember that the APC and Tinubu are responsible for the hunger, starvation and devastation in the land.”
