Atiku Abubakar, the candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, stated on Sunday that Nigerians would hold the APC accountable for “their failure.”
The former vice-president of Nigeria stated in a newsletter that was provided to reporters on Sunday.
Parts of the statement read, “It’s a plan that encompasses a wide range of the challenges that beset us currently, and the core purpose of my campaign is to market those plans to Nigerians. For me and everyone in the PDP side, including you, the next general election is a referendum on the performance of the APC.
“The ruling party will want to run away from their poor performance. In fact, they will wish that we focus on topics that are irrelevant to the next election. But we won’t give them that advantage. We will hold them accountable for their scorecards. But even that is not enough. What is more important is that we don’t make the same mistake again.
“That’s why it is incumbent on us to evaluate the plans of each political party and let that be the yardstick of our electoral decisions. As the presidential candidate of the PDP, I shall insist that we focus on issues that are relevant to the next election. I will count on your support in marketing these plans so that, in the end, we both would have done our part to ensure that Nigeria is the ultimate winner in the election next year.”
