Ahead of the 2023 general election, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as destroyers, adding that they don’t deserve to be supported.

Atiku, who stated this while addressing party supporters in Benin, Edo State, Saturday during his party’s presidential rally, urged the people to continue to be loyal to the PDP.

He said the APC has destroyed the educational system, economy, infrastructure and failed to address the security challenges facing the country.

The former Vice President also reiterated his commitment to tackle insecurity, improve economy, unify the country and fight insecurity.

Atiku stated “We have promised to reunify this country. What do we mean by that? We mean we are going to give each and every part of this country a sense of belonging. You will not be excluded in anything.

“Two, we promise to restore security. Whatever it is going to take us to do it, we will restore security in this country so that you can travel day and night, so that you can go to your farms, so that you can go to anywhere secured.

“We will put more policemen on the streets. We will equip them; we will fortify them and since we have promised to devolve more powers to the states and local governments, you can also have your own local police. We shall make sure your local police don’t harass you.

“Three, we will send back all our eligible children to school. They must go to school; every child must go to school.

“If you remember, during the PDP years, we established compulsory primary school education from primary to secondary school and we are tasking Nigerians to educate these children. But this government is not keeping to that promise. We promise you; every child must go to school and our universities will not go on strike.

“Again, we promise to revive the economy of this country. We will make sure that our industries, our factories, resume production in this country. We will make sure that there are enough jobs for our youths who are passing out from the schools. This is what we mean by reviving the economy.

“You have seen how APC has destroyed this country, destroyed the economy of this country. They have destroyed your educational opportunities. They have destroyed your job opportunities. APC is not a party to be supported. They are destroyers.

“Therefore, we call on you to continue to be loyal to PDP and PDP will be loyal to you”.

Ironically, Soludo is fighting same in Anambra State as stated by one of yours below. Meaning, such was institutionalised in the state ruled by present "saviour" of your children future. Shouldn't that be your main concern? Or is it a taboo for igbos to be concerned with what happens in the East?

No single asset in the north is marked for sale

RZArecta:
Like I said years ago when this junta floated the idea of selling national assets to generate revenue. When you're through selling them, what will be your next option ? Nigeria of today survives via Chinese/Sukkuk loans, unbearably high taxes and remnants of stolen crude oil. A serious country would have cut out waste years ago especially that funny type Tompolo is telling us was just discovered, cut off excesses and duplicates from the budget running into billions, increase the tax net while reducing taxes as a form of encouragement and encouraging export by any means necessary

The Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, yesterday dismissed insinuations that the water released from the Lagbo Dam in Cameroun was responsible for this year’s devastating flood in many parts of Nigeria. 

He told the Senate Committee on Water Resources that the flood was due to water flowing from different tributaries into the River Benue due to heavy downpour. 

The committee had asked him about the state of the Dasin Hausa Dam in Adamawa State which is to mitigate the effects of water released from the Lagbo Dam in Cameroon.  

Adamu said the Dasin Hausa Dam was still on the drawing board, noting that even if the dam was built, it would not help much.

He said the water released from the Lagbo Dam contributed only about 1 percent to the floods in Nigeria. 

He said: “You cannot stop flooding, it’s a natural phenomenon, just like you cannot stop earthquake.  

“States and local authorities should stop giving people permit to build on watercourses. 

“People shouldn’t be building illegally on water courses. If you’ve a water course, if you think you’ll see it dry for 10 or 20 years, it doesn’t mean in 100 years, water will not come.”

Stay Obedient.

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party appeared to have worsened with its National Woman Leader, Prof. Stella Effah-Attoe, raising the alarm that she had been sidelined and her office undermined.

The allegation came as the party battled to wriggle out of crises that erupted since its presidential primary.

Effah-Attoe raised the allegation in a leaked memo she sent to the National Working Committee of the PDP, citing two detailed instances to back her claim.

The memo, titled: “Deliberate attempts to undermine my office, office of the national woman leader and to sideline my humble person: An unacceptable hindrance,” was exclusively obtained by The PUNCH on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to her, it became very clear that over time, there had been “several attempts made at undermining my office”, the office of the PDP National Woman Leader.

She said, “The most recent attempts were as follows:

At the flag off ceremony of the PDP campaigns in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on October 10, 2022, here, serious attempts were made to prevent me from addressing the PDP audience at the Uyo stadium. It must be stated here that it is a customary tradition in our party for the National Woman Leader and the National Youth Leader, to address rallies in conjunction with party candidates, party chairmen et al.

“Unfortunately, in Uyo, every attempt was made to prevent me from addressing party faithfuls. I was told that there was a clear directive not to allow me to speak to the crowd. It got to the ridiculous extent of these agents, calling on Senator Uche Ekwunife, to speak to the audience, on behalf of PDP women.

“Senator Ekwunife was very embarrassed, but she was prodded to do it. Iyom Josephine Anenih, a former PDP National Woman Leader, drew the attention of some party leaders to this anomaly. It was then that I was reluctantly called to address the audience on behalf of the PDP women. This unfortunate development did not go unnoticed by party faithful, who found the whole drama very embarrassing and childish.

“At the PDP Kaduna rally on Monday October 7, 2022. At this event, the National Youth Leader was called upon to address the crowd on behalf of the PDP youths, which he did perfectly well, to the admiration of the populace. I was physically present at the event in Kaduna. I was even seated beside the National Youth Leader. But Nobody called me to address the audience on behalf of the PDP women.

“Rather, the spectacle was a very ridiculous announcement calling on Dr. Baraka Sani (Director of the PDP Support Groups, in the Campaign Council), to address the crowd on behalf of the PDP women. The entire audience were surprised, mesmerised and confused. People started asking questions there and then. Many wondered why the National Youth Leader was called upon to perform his traditional and official role, while the National Woman Leader was deliberately prevented from doing hers.

“There and then, some people tried to explain that unfortunate scenario in different colourations. While a lot of people found the occurrence very offensive, I smiled over the unfortunate incident in total sympathy with the perpetrators of such childish display of character.

“It may interest you to know that the happening has gone viral, to the disgust of many Nigerians. Specifically, the Kaduna occurrence has seriously painted our great party in a negative light. Very, very sad indeed.

“Well, on this note, it has become very obvious that there are some distracting elements within our great party who are determined to frustrate me in the performance of my statutory duties as the PDP National Woman Leader. This is very unacceptable. May I state clearly here that I cannot and will never succumb to any unnecessary attempt to frustrate me, in the performance of my official duties.

“I will continue to perform my duties to the best of my ability and to the benefit of our esteemed party, within the confines of my safety and the tolerance level around me.

“The purpose of this elaborate analysis, is to bring the attention of the members of the PDP National Working Committee to these strange developments happening around my office and by extension my humble person. May God Almighty touch our dear hearts in order to enable us critically assess and act upon this unholy and isolated attempt at massive victimisation and marginalisation of my office and my humble self. Thank you and God bless us all.”
