Voting APC in 2015 was a mistake, says Atiku By Abel Abogonye, Lafia

Presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as a huge mistake Nigerians made in 2015.

Abubakar, who spoke during a consultative visit to Lafia, Nasarawa State capital, yesterday, said: “The greatest mistake Nigerians have made so far was electing APC in 2015. The country is more divided and economically degenerated than what they met when they took over power. If you want peace and unity, improved economy and employment for youths, then vote out APC.”

He urged Nigerians not to repeat the mistake, when APC came up with all kinds of propaganda to deceive. He said APC gave Nigerians false hope.On his rift with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Atiku said he had no grudge against him, and that whatever the former president said had nothing to do with his presidential ambition.

“My ambition is all about Nigeria and Nigerians,” he said.He disclosed that he would abide by whatever arrangement his party chose to adopt, whether consensus or primaries.The PDP state chairman, Francis Orogu commended the former vice president for his doggedness and quest to return Nigeria to its economic and national heritage. Orogu said the party has strong confidence on his presidential ambition and urged all Nigerians to support Atiku’s vision.
