The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council
has urged Nigerians to reject the Peoples Democratic Party presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, during the February 25, 2022, poll.
This is as the campaign council described the former vice
president as “Nigeria’s number one public enemy” following the latter’s call
for non-extension of the deadline for the old naira swap.
In a statement the APC PCC Director, Media and Publicity,
Bayo Onanuga, on Friday, the campaign council said the alleged current sabotage
of the Naira notes swap and fuel scarcity with its attendant hardship revealed
the true character of Atiku as public enemy number one.
The statement read in part, “This is a man who wants to be
President and does not mind even if he presides over the graves of Nigerians as
long as his inordinate ambition materialises in line with the prophecy of his
marabouts.
“It is crystal clear to every Nigerian of conscience now
that Atiku Abubakar and PDP do not mean well for our country. PDP and Atiku
have become desperadoes who will wish calamity on the country as long as it
makes them win an election they are destined to lose, spectacularly.
“Atiku is now public enemy number one in Nigeria. He is evil
personified and must be rejected at the polls on 25 February.
“If Atiku Abubakar has the poor people of our country at
heart like Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the PDP candidate will not be advocating for
adherence to a policy that has become a burden too heavy to bear for our
people.”
It added, “Nigerians will recall that since the Central Bank
introduced its current cash-limit and new Naira notes swap policies, Atiku
Abubakar and PDP maintained opportunistic silence with the hope they will
benefit from the discomfort the policies will create for Nigerians and the
resentment they will generate for the ruling APC.
“While Atiku and PDP were in bed with the saboteurs and
fifth columnists among the operators of Money Deposit Banks and oil marketers
who created the current logjam to force the outcome of the February 25
Presidential election in favour of the former Vice President, our candidate
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu courageously pitched his tent with the poor masses
who have been most negatively impacted by the antics of these evil doers.
Having realised they have lost the initiative and their
antics exposed to Nigerians by Asiwaju Tinubu at the APC Presidential Campaign
rally in Abeokuta, Atiku made a half-hearted appeal to CBN to ‘slightly’ extend
the deadline for the currency swap.
“We are currently at a loss to understand what informed the
current call of Atiku on CBN not to extend the February 10 deadline despite the
unmitigated hardship still being faced by many Nigerians who could not meet
their basic daily needs as a result of lack of cash from banks and the empty
ATM machines.
“Any one who lives in Nigeria and not Dubai and visits banks
and ATM locations will feel sad that the CBN is making our people suffer for
its badly timed Naira swap policy.
“… Atiku only comes across as a political leader disconnected from the Nigerian people that he is campaigning to govern. Certainly, living comfortably in Dubai for many years has drained Atiku of all empathy.”
