The spokesperson for the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Wednesday, said unlike other presidential aspirants, the Peoples Democratic Party flagbarer, Atiku Abubakar, was not a learner on the job.
He said the anguish and pains Nigerians are experiencing under the All Progressives Congress government will seize when Atiku becomes Nigeria’s president on May 29, 2023.
Ologbondiyan gave the assurance during an interaction with some PDP youths in Abuja.
He pointed out that the PDP and Atiku were worried about the pains and sufferings the APC has inflicted on Nigerians in the last seven years.
He noted that the crowd that attended the party’s presidential campaign flag-off in Uyo, including other venues, was an indication of the approval of the Atiku/Okowa presidency in the build-up to the 2023 presidential election.
He said, “Among the arrays of presidential candidates, only Atiku Abubakar has the practicable plan on how to end the pains, the hunger, the starvation, the economic woes, the lower purchasing power and the sense of hopelessness which the APC administration has brought upon Nigerians.
“Atiku Abubakar has the experience of office, unlike the learners on parade, having been the Chairman of the National Economic Council. Nigerians can recall that those years, between 1999-2007, were the glorious years of our nation when we achieved unprecedented economic growth.
“In those years that Presidents elected on the platform of the PDP governed, life had meaning as our naira had value against foreign denominations; purchasing power was high; teachers had access to repayable loans and could build comfortable accommodation while those who desired to buy cars could afford them.”
He urged Nigerians not to vote for those who, within seven years, pulled the country from the “top to the bottom” among the comity of nations.
He urged Nigerians to continue to support the PDP and its candidates, adding that the party has solutions to the multitude of issues bedevilling the nation.
