The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has taken a swipe at his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking in Kano state during his party’s presidential campaign rally, Tinubu lashed at Atiku, describing him as lacking integrity.
Speaking against the backdrop of the crisis rocking the PDP, Tinubu submitted that Governor Nyesom Wike was right in his assessment of Atiku.
The APC candidate submitted that both Atiku and the PDP are guilty of making fake promises to Nigerians and urged citizens of the country to ignore them at the polls.
He said the country does not deserve to go back to the wasted years of PDP rule but by voting for him in the February presidential election, Nigerians would continue to enjoy what President Muhammadu Buhari has started as he would do more.
Tinubu said: “We can make Nigeria better, safer, and more prosperous. We can educate our youth, feed our people and put an end to fear. We can do these things. We can move you forward.
But the others cannot. They want to hold you back so that only they can move forward. They offer nothing but fake promises and easy answers that hold no water. All they can show you is how to hate your fellow Nigerian and reject your neighbour.
But they cannot show you how to protect our society, feed our people, provide jobs and care for those in true need of help.
Neither he nor his party can keep their promise. Tell me how will they keep their promise to the nation. No wonder, their party is in tatters! Governor Wike was right when he talked about a lack of integrity, saying “look at the man and his history.
They Have Nothing To Offer
Speaking further, Tinubu said both Atiku and PDP have nothing good to offer Nigerians because they have a tradition of always failing to fulfill their promises.
He said: “Their contribution to institutional-building is to create an electoral commission to rig elections, not to conduct transparent polls, and to establish EFCC to witch-hunt political opponents, not to fight corruption.
PDP and its candidate do not have your interests at heart. They do not mean well for you; they do not mean well for the country.
They mouthed Green Revolution, but their regime only worked to increase the food importation bill for 16 years.
What they understand is a ‘consumption economy’ not a ‘production-based economy’.”
