Atiku Abubakar, the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said he made a mistake by voting for the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2015 general election.

Mr Abubakar stated this on Monday at the presidential rally of the PDP in Kogi State.

The former vice president popularly known as Atiku said he did not made the mistake alone as Bukola Saraki, Senate President also committed same blunder.

Messrs Atiku and Saraki were former members of the ruling party. They had defected to the APC prior to the 2015 general election.

While in APC, Atiku contested for the 2015 presidential ticket but lost to Muhammadu Buhari, who is now seeking a second term in office. The former vice president is the major challenger of the president in the February 16 presidential election.

“I have always advocated for the restructuring of this country,” Atiku said.

“If there is one state that is going to be a beacon of progress, a beacon of hope after restructuring, it’s Kogi State. Because Kogi State has what it takes to be one of the most promising states in this country, therefore don’t be deceived by APC.

“You have seen them, you have voted for them, what have they done in this four years? What have they done here in Kogi State?

“They can’t even pay salaries, they can’t pay pensions, schools are not working, this is a failed government and we have the opportunity to correct the mistakes we have made.

“He (Saraki) made the mistake, I made the mistake, today we have retraced our steps and we are determined to correct the mistakes that has been made,” he said.

The former vice president also criticised the detention of Senator Dino Melaye who is said to have allegedly committed homicide in July.

“Kogi state has one of the most prominent young politician in the country. Today he is under detention and unlawful detention for that matter,” the PDP flag-bearer said while calling on the APC-led government to free the lawmaker.

Atiku called on the people to ensure they elect candidates of the PDP in the coming elections.

On his part, Mr Saraki, while addressing the mammoth crowd that graced the rally, celebrated Mr Melaye on his 45th birthday while the lawmaker was been detained by the police.

10 disturbing stories of people who attended their own funeral alive
https://www./2019/01/10-disturbing-stories.html

just because of your personal interest, no politician is worth it they all fight in public, and share the national loot in private.

Both of you are mistakes

Fugitive and Mesujamba were disappointed because the key to National Treasury was not handed to them

Sane, honest, Patriotic and hardworking Nigerians, Do not Waste time Arguing with Buhari Haters* 

We are not talking about critics who are genuinely concerned about a better Nigeria,. You will know them because when they see good efforts of government they applaud.

But the others, the one who swore on their lives Buhari will never be president, the enemies of the nation, are the ones we are talking about. The following are their traits:

* They lie and mislead others with statements as 'I regret voting Buhari'(Saraki and Atiku) etc a cliche they started using as early as few months into the Buhari government. To them it doesn't matter that the last government looted the treasury and Buhari met an empty treasury...they will say 'we voted him because he said he will change the nation in '3 months? (Don't bother to ask for proof, lying is their trademark)

* They are the one who swore on their father's head that Buhari died in Aso rock, and later in UK. Then they said the Buhari that returned to Nigeria is a clone (duplicate) and you still take cognizance of what comes out of these peoples mouth.

* They were the ones who said 8 years was not enough for OBJ, and 6 not enough for GEJ etc They are the beneficiaries of corruption. They are either the full time politicians, corrupt civil servants, journalists, bankers, fraudulent contractors, religious businessmen etc Its no longer business As usual, so they pretend that they are fighting for ordinary Nigerians (na lie!!!)

* When you remind them of how corruption in last government has ruined the nation....they ask you to stop talking about the past

* When you say Buhari is a man of integrity and his fighting corruption...they say his son has a power bike.

* When Evans the kidnapper say something against Buhari, he becomes an hero. When you say their heroes and spokespersons lack integrity (IBB, OBJ, Fayose, FFK, Saraki, Reno, GEJ, Atiku, etc)...then they say look at the message not the messenger (what meaningful words do the robber want to utter?)

*They are not interested in any development in Nigeria, if it means ascribing any success to PMB. 

* Every good news of the nation brings them sadness, and they remain quiet until another bad news crops up

* If you tell them Buhari is building over 300 roads all over Nigeria, they say it is because of 2019.

* Tell them Buhari is developing the rail system all over Nigeria, they say it is not his initiative that Obasanjo and GEJ had plans to do it.

* Inform them about the agricultural revolution how Nigeria now produces its local food and has become a foremost world exporter of food, they say it is Obasanjo that started Operation feed the nation in the 70s (God have mercy!!!)

* When you say Buhari is working to completing abandoned projects, over 8000 nationwide (Mambila hydro power, Ajaokuta Steel Plant etc), they say it is because he has no program of his own.

Let us stop here abeg....
How many we wan talk?!
But definitely, the willfully blind will forever be blind and the wilfully deaf, will be deaf for ever.

President Buhari, The looter of our National treasury are still so much in PAINS from 2015 because you blocked all avenue for them to continue their looting as usual.
STEALING IS NOW CORRUPTION.
GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI

Lol .
You've said it all patriot.

Thank God u guys ve realized urselves. Jubril is leaving

What zombies don't know is that many people who voted Buhari in 2015 will not vote him this time and then there's nobody who didn't vote him in 2015 that will vote him this time around.

that's campaign too.

You were warned then but your hatred from a soft democrat called Jonathan led all of you to go and resurrect a failed communist and terrorist called Buhari just to wrest power from GEJ and today we all know the outcome... Wallahi if not for the suffering of innocent Nigerians we would vote Buhari enmasse so all of you that packaged the terror called Buhari can feel his full brunt just like Dino Melaye

They shouldn't even start playing with our minds with this! That's how they will make gullible people fight themselves while their kids marry each other and build empires

Believe these guys are your peril!

PDP

Both u and saraki with apc and pdp are all bastards. I pray our soldiers revolt soon and kill u all

^ is not a bad idea, Amaechi asked for it anyways.
if not, why will anyone endorse a known thief?
imagine shameless bovi dabbing with the looter.
all shameless.

I will always say it. The only reason why I am voting this man is cuz of Peter Obi. All of you are the problems Nigeria is suffering today. And are the problems we need out if this system. So just forget all the gallery you are playing to and chill. 2019 is yours for the taking.

Like the man but he is too desperate for power ..He started his plan of taking over from Buhari from the day one after the inauguration of national assembly . If Buhari is a corrupt character,he would have asked his boys to impeach him since .

And is because of people like you we all are in these miseries, thank God for the law of karma....few days again Nigerians will chose to leave either in heaven or in hell



Hit like for heaven and share for hell

shut up and concentrate on your campaign

One vote can change a nation. .Buhari is a goner!

True Mr President. Most of us made that mistake too. More so, when we thought Buhari was an angel!... Now we know, he is nothing but a pretender.
