The Senate President also said that Buhari’s administration has not performed.
Senate President Bukola Saraki has called on Nigerians to vote out the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Senate President also said that Buhari’s administration has not performed.
“The
country needs to vote out All Progressives Congress (APC). This is
not propaganda. I have said it severally that my commitment is to see a
Nigeria that is not backward. In 2014, we believed Buhari will come in
as a former General, former Head of State that had the capacity, which
his integrity will address the issue of corruption, which will provide
an atmosphere for people to invest in the country. And I said then that
if Nigeria did not perform on three issues, security, provision of jobs
and eradication of poverty and corruption, they should vote us out.
That’s democracy because election is referendum.
“There are some people in APC who know
that the man has not performed but because of their personal interest,
they have left that one. They say Yoruba should look at 2023, so people
should just continue this way? No, no, no.”
On the area of security, Saraki said that the
President has failed Nigerians, citing the recent violence in Zamfara
state and continued Boko haram attacks as proof.
“No President knows everything, but a man
should know his strength and his weaknesses. You don’t have to be an
economist to do this, put people who will be able to do it. Let us look
at it, when we came in 2015, there was this issue of Boko Haram
insurgency, today they are not only in the North-West, they are going as
far as Zamfara. What we saw in North-Central is even as bad as that; in
that area he is a failure,” he added.
Also, the Director-General of President Buhari’s re-election campaign and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has called on Nigerians not to vote for Atiku Abubakar in 2019.
Amaechi said that hunger will increase in Nigeria if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is allowed to return to power.
