Ahead of the 2019 general
election, the Abia state chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon.
Donatus Nwankpa, has declared that the presidential candidate of the opposition
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar lacks the capacity to steer the
governance of Nigeria if elected as President.
Nwankpa, who spoke in a chat with
Dailypost on Tuesday morning, insisted that the ex-Nigeria vice-president
lacks the acumen to solve economic and security problems besetting the country,
pointing out that the present APC-led federal government had done well to
improve the nation’s economy through its people-oriented policies, and
degrading the insurgencies in some parts of the North-East zone.
The former Abia lawmaker warned
the Igbo against toeing the wrong direction as they did in 2015 and stressed
the importance for the people of the South-East to support the second term bid
of President Buhari to ensure the actualization of a Nigerian president of Igbo
extraction in 2023.
According to him, “Nobody is
disparaging the person of Atiku. What we are saying is that he does not have
the capacity drive the current Nigeria.
“He does not have team to drive
the current Nigeria. He does not have pedigree and history. He does not have the
transformative mentality. He does not have the charisma to take Nigeria to the
level we are going into.
“This is no longer the period of
experimental governance in Nigeria and Abia state in particular. Enough of
experimentation, enough of rigmarole.
“We are happy that our main
opponent is Atiku Abubakar. And he has chosen a south easterner. Is for the
south east to choose. The vice President that might be removed under one year.
“And our consistent demand that
to prove that the civil war has duly ended, the next president after the second
tenure of President Buhari should come from the south east zone”.
Is it your PMB that has the team to drive Nigeria? Abeg go and sit down, you are all leaving in 2019.
