Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, on Wednesday lambasted the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, a report by Daily Post has reported.
The report revealed that Abubakar said Nigerians had never had it
this bad since the civil war while speaking at the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, secretariat during a consultation visit in Uyo, Akwa Ibom
State.
Abubakar regretted that those who were making Nigeria unbearable
for its citizens today, were not part of the struggles towards the
actualization of democracy.
The Waziri of Adamawa urged Nigerians to rise up to change the APC
led-government if they truly desired to continue to have a country.
He said, “The country is in its worse state today. I have never
seen it since the civil war. Ethnic division, north against south, this
is very very dangerous for our survival as a country.
“We must do all what we can to address this situation. We have
to unite together to arrest this, otherwise you would one day wake up
and find out that we don’t have a country, God forbid.
“We may end up with 25-27 PDP states in Nigeria, because every
part of this country is fed up with this government. And this is the
most intolerant government I have ever seen in this country. And
unfortunately for us, he was not even part of this struggle.
“The situation in APC states is horrible. You cannot even meet
like this. They are intolerable because they were not part of the
struggle for actualization of democracy. If PDP was like this, there
would not have been any opposition party in this country.
“Let us therefore unite and make sure that we free this country
and our people from this situation. The political restructuring of this
country is inevitable, whether we like it or not.
“We must deploy resources and powers to the federated units of
this country. If states and Local Government Areas are given more
resources and powers, the people would hold them accountable”.
