The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, APC-PCC, has berated the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, APC, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, describing him as the nation’s number one public enemy.
The council hinged its position on Atiku’s opposition to a further extension of the deadline for the use of the old naira notes in the country.
The council said the position of Atiku was unfortunate, especially, in view of the pains experienced by Nigerians in accessing the apparently insufficient cash in circulation.
In a statement by its Director, Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the council said: We thus find it ludicrous that a man who joined the call for an extension of the deadline last week is championing a new campaign against further extension because he feels the suffering of Nigerians will serve his own political end to become president at all cost…
“In passing off the suffering of our people as ‘Little inconvenience’, 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.
“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.”
