Former Vice-President Atiku
Abubakar says the government of President Muhamadu Buhari is the most corrupt
since 1999.
Abubakar, who was the nation’s
number two citizen, said this in Abakaliki, Ebonyi capital, while addressing
some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the state secretariat of
the party.
He also wondered why officials of
the current administration are “not united”.
“What is happening today in our
country is in contravention with all our provisions of our constitution. In our
federation, we are supposed to have an inclusive government but you know that
this federal government is not inclusive,” he said.
“You know that this federal
government is not united; you know that this federal government is incompetent;
you know that this federal government is more corrupt than any government we
have come through since 1999.
“So, let nobody come and deceive
you on corruption, they are more corrupt than any government that I know since
1999 and we shall be revealing their level of corruption. Fighting corruption
alone is not the only responsibility of government.”
Abubakar, a former member of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), also lamented over the high rate of insecurity
and unemployment.
“Our unemployment is accelerated
high and there have never a time we had more than 11 million people, young
people, young women thrown out of job. Today, we have more than 11 million
unemployed people,” he said.
“Today, we have witnessed much
insecurity in this country. Today, we are witnessing high inflation the APC
government has brought to us in this country.”
He also spoke about the coalition
to oust the APC, saying the country has not had it this bad in 35 years.
“On Monday, 40 political parties
came together to meet themselves to present one candidate for presidential
election,” he said.
“The coalition is going to have
one candidate for presidential election, one candidate for governor, one
candidate for senator, one candidate for house of reps, one candidate for house
of assembly, one candidate for party chairman.
”We need this alliance because
what I have seen in the last three years is what I have not seen in the last 35
years in this country. Therefore, we are determined, we are united and we are
ready to make sure that in the next election whether state or national or
federal, we will kick out APC in every state in this country.”
