The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has asked Nigerians not to allow the All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari, to steal their votes in the February 16, 2019 presidential election.
Atiku, who spoke at an interactive session with some youth groups, social media influencers and bloggers in Abuja on Sunday, also alleged that the Buhari administration had wrecked the nation and must therefore be voted out for the nation to thrive again.
The PDP presidential candidate alleged that desperate attempts by the Buhari Presidency to manipulate the electoral process, including the foisting of the President’s relation to head the collation of the presidential election results as well as hounding of judicial officers, are all geared towards enabling Buhari to steal votes.
He said, “President Buhari has stolen your jobs. He has stolen your rights. Don’t let him steal your votes.
“They are preparing the grounds to steal your votes. I know that Nigerians are ready to ‘get Nigeria working again’, but don’t let President Buhari steal your votes.”
The PDP presidential candidate said Nigeria had never had it so bad since independence.
“Nigeria has never been in such a bad shape as we have today, not even during the civil war. Things are really bad.
“We have never had the economy this bad and the nation has not been so insecure as it is under the Buhari administration. That is why we all must work together to rescue our nation and make it work again,” he said.
Atiku further urged Nigerians not to despair, saying he had templates he would use to ensure rapid economic recovery, massive employment opportunity and strategic avenues for empowerment of Nigerians in all aspects of life.
