Former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar on Wednesday lambasted the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The Wazirin Adamawa stated that
the government and the All Progressives Congress (APC) had shown that they had
no answers to the country’s problems.
He spoke in Imo during a meeting
with leaders and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Atiku took a swipe at failed
promises of President Buhari in the area of job creation and security.
He said: “Rather than fulfilling
the promise of creating 3 million jobs, we have lost 3 million jobs. Security
has collapsed, farmers cannot go to farm amid palpable fear across the land.”
Atiku described the current
leadership of the APC as one that is “only ready to take over power but not
prepared for governance”.
He stressed the need for leaders
to listen to yhe aspirations of the people of Imo State and the entire South
East zone which he promised to address in his government if given the mandate.
At the meeting, a BoT member of
the PDP, Chief Emmanuel Iwuayanwu described the former Vice President as an
intelligent leader, a true Nigerian and the only aspirant who can be fair to
the Igbo people in equitable distribution of the nation’s resources.
He declared his support for
Atiku’s aspiration, saying he is looking forward to his installation as the
President before announcing his retirement from active politics.
Speaking, former Deputy Speaker,
House of Representatives, Hon. Emeka Ikhedioha said Atiku is on course to being
“the best President Nigeria will have in 2019”.
Those who received Atiku at the
Imo International Airport included Sen. Chris Anyanwu, former Governor Achike
Udenwa and former Minister Kema Chikwe, Elder Godswill Orubebe, Dr Okwi Nwodo,
Yaya Abubakar among others.
Nigerians have forgotten the N2.8 scandal stolen under Buhari as petroleum minister. To unravel the corruption details, President Shagari inaugurated a probe chaired by Justice Ayo Irikefe. To hide his escapades in the corruption case, Buhari ousted President Shagari in December 1983, just to cover up his theft. Have we Nigerians forgotten so soon? Now, is Buhari right to lead the anti-corruption crusade? He is the grand master of corruption. Is he not? Food for thought!
