qualitative employment for the youths.
A statement signed by Spokesman of the PDP, kola Ologbondiyan said its
candidate will also implement the political and economic restructuring of
our nation in a manner that will engender unity, inclusiveness in
governance and upliftment in the general standard of living for all our
people.
“PDP maintains that on election into office, its presidential candidate
will immediately commence the marketing of Nigeria to the international
business community, as well as providing a clement environment for
businesses to thrive in our nation.
“Atiku will open a system-wide fight against corruption as soon as he is
elected into office by strengthening the institutions empowered by our
laws to do their jobs, while he concentrates on the onerous duty of
governance and rescuing our people from hunger, starvation, bloodlettings
and wanton killings.
“The rebranded PDP assures that all those looting the national treasury,
including those now enjoying President Buhari’s official cover, will
definitely face the wrath of the law and go to jail, because the Atiku
Abubakar administration will not only fight poverty but will also
uncompromisingly fight corruption.
“The party noted that a combination of Atiku Abubakar and his running
mate, Peter Obi, known internationally for their forthrightness, hardwork,
ingenuity and managerial competencies, guarantees a prudent and
result-oriented administration that will liberate our nation from the
economic shackles that President Buhari’s wasteful, notoriously
incompetent, and deceptive administration has plunged us into.
“Atiku Abubakar comes with the Nigerian resilient entrepreneurial spirit
to once again open up our economy, attract investments, create jobs and
unite our citizenry for a more productive nation.
“Already, our candidate, as a successful entrepreneur, has perfected an
economic template that will reduce the cost of governance, plug wastages,
tackle corruption, free our national resources currently being squandered
by the Buhari administration and channel them for the welfare of the
people.
“What Nigerians earnestly desire now is a resourceful President, not an
incompetent leader who lacks the capacity to run a complex economy; who
stays aloof and completely insensitive to the plights of citizens, while
providing official cover for his officials to fritter away trillions of
naira from our beleaguered national treasury.
“Our youths are earnestly seeking for an in-charge President, not one who
rules by proxy. They look forward to a President who will give hope in the
face of a consuming despair and one, whose words resonate with their
aspirations in life.
“Nigerians seek a President who will not watch helplessly while marauders
and insurgents kill our brothers and sisters in their numbers; whose only
achievement is plunging our nation into economic recession, collecting
foreign loans and accumulating debts with nothing to show.
“PDP holds that President Buhari has failed on all fronts. He has failed
on the economy, on security and on the fight against corruption.
“This 2019 election is therefore, a direct referendum on these failures
and the determination of Nigerians to choose a new leader who will rescue
our nation from the throes of hunger and starvation.
“The 2019 election will never be about character assassination or mouthing
some worn-out sloganeerings about corruption but will be about a
demonstrable capacity to deliver on the mandate.
“The Buhari Presidency by now knows that Nigerians are not buying their
smear campaign against Atiku Abubakar as Nigerians have seen that all the
Buhari Presidency had done in its almost four year term is paying lip
service to fighting corruption while its members swim in an ocean of
corruption.
“Instead of this unnecessary fixation on our candidate, the PDP challenges
President Buhari to step out and give account of his failed stewardship;
how he ran down a once robust economy in a space of three years; why he is
running a corrupt administration; why his administration failed to protect
our slain compatriots and how trillions of naira are stolen under the
cover of his Presidency.
“Finally, the PDP forewarns all looters in the Buhari Presidency,
including those involved in the alleged stealing of over N14 trillion from
several sleazy oil deals; the alleged undisclosed oil revenue leading to
the deadlock at the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC); alleged
stealing of funds meant for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) among
other sleazes covered by the Buhari Presidency, to get ready to vomit
their loots and face the law in no distant time.”
