Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said President Buhari’s yesterday's broadcast to Nigerians is not presidential address to the nation but a farewell speech.


In a statement through his special assistant on publication, Phrank Shaibu, on Thursday, February 14, Atiku Abubakar faulted what he described as the president’s attack on the opposition in his nationwide broadcast.


“We see President Muhammadu Buhari’s attack on the opposition in his nationwide broadcast, Thursday night, as part of the many gaffes which have come to define last days of the Buhari Presidency, rather than an address to be taken seriously by Nigerians," he said.


Atiku Abubakar also said President Buhari’s negative comments against opposition party in his nationwide broadcast does not reflect the attributes of a leader who is seeking for another term in office.


The statement from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate noted that a review of comments on President Buhari’s Facebook page to the broadcast shows that many Nigerians were advocating for a new government.


The statement reads; "When you compare these to the comments on H.E Atiku’s page to his Facebook Live broadcast this morning, the contrast could not be greater. The final verdict is in the hands and fingers of the millions of voters this Saturday,"


“As our candidate H.E Atiku said in his final message of the campaign ‘Even if you are not voting for me, still come out to vote on Saturday. It is about Nigeria, not Atiku Abubakar. It is about you and your future.’” “So, we appeal to every eligible voter to express their will and contribute to our democracy.”
