The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has called on Nigerians to kick out the All Progressives Congress (APC) from power during the general elections in 2023.

He made the call on Sunday in his Democracy Day message, saying that was the most important tribute the people could pay to the heroes of democracy in the country.

Atiku believes the occasion is an auspicious period to rally around all compatriots to think and work in concert for the unity, security, equity, inclusivity, socio-economic prosperity and equitable development of the country.

He urged Nigerians to seize the opportunity to reinforce their commitment to the sacrifices made by the pioneers of the nation’s independence.

According to the former vice president, it is visible that the present istration has brought upon the people the worst form of government.

He, therefore, asked them to reject the APC government which he described as inept, unpopular, insensitive, and clueless.

Atiku stressed that a party that could not offer the people honesty on its pledged manifestos with regards to security, economic growth, and anti-corruption should not be honoured with another ‘wasteful’ tenure.

For him, it is time to prove to APC politicians that power truly belongs to the people via the use of ballots.

Read the full text of the PDP presidential candidate’s message below:

This year’s Democracy Day provides us with no room to stomach rhyme and rhetoric. But salient facts, sobriety, and the promise of a better tomorrow.

In fact, this historic June 12 as Democracy Day in Nigeria, is indeed one of the most epochal political events in our nation, just before the February 2023 general elections.

Hence, it is an auspicious period to rally around all compatriots; to think and work in concert for the unity, security, equity, inclusivity, socio-economic prosperity and equitable development of our dear country.

Let’s seize this unique opportunity of Democracy Day to reinforce our firm commitment to the sacrifices made by the pioneers of our country’s independence and salute the courage and selflessness of the pathfinders of our current freedom and liberty; by pursuing with vim and vigour the fundamentals of our Constitution, the pillars and principles of rule of law, of electoral transparency and equity and unity in diversity.

Let’s not despair by folding our arms in hapless helplessness. “The last thing that should die in a person is hope”.

Meanwhile, let’s continue to do our civic duty and responsibility to salvage our dear country together; saving her from falling off precariously from current socio-economic cliff into an abysmal catastrophic end of a failed state, as predicted by some naysayers!

Thus, the time is ripe for all adult Nigerians to to vote; vote and defend their votes. For people’s participation is the beauty of democracy.

Let’s gather the numbers and commitment to kick out APC – the borrowing and sorrowing party. Let’s that Nigeria’s current debt burden stands at over N41 trillion with less than $40billion in reserve.

It is visible that the Buhari istration has brought upon our commonality the worst form of government, where insecurity, disunity, inequity, lack of job opportunity, dwindling economic prosperity and hyper inflation stare us all in the face.

Hence, we should by next year reject an inept, unpopular and insensitive and clueless APC government.

A ruling party that offers crass opportunism and cronyism can never elevate nor uplift a diverse and secular country as ours.

The APC that couldn’t offer Nigerians honesty on their pledged manifestos with regards to security, economic growth and anti-corruption; shouldn’t be honoured with another wasteful tenure of pillage, brigandage and carnage!

Here’s the season to prove to dishonest APC politicians that power truly belongs to the people via the use of the ballots.

A government that impoverishes us divides us along our fault lines, make us insecure, make us hungry, starve us of public amenities like electricity and fuel and perpetually shut down gates of universities against our undergraduates, due to no fault of the students and causing untold sorrow to their parents and sponsors; such a party should never be allowed to occupy esteemed offices in government at any level in our country.

At this juncture, the most pertinent tribute that we can effectively pay to our heroes past, those who struggled to enthrone and sustain Democracy in Nigeria, is to kick out the APC; a tainted government that was given a valuable mandate, but came unprepared about what to do. They squandered a precious political opportunity, by dashing the hopes of a trusting majority of the electorate. Not again, we should all clamour. Say no to the doom of bad governance; say yes to the prospect of a better Nigeria in 2023.

Let’s work together to fix our country and return the boom of days of yore. Let’s kick out the APC.

I stand with you all on the drive to reposition our country for greatness.

I will unify all and sundry, enforce solid security nationwide, create jobs through private sector unhindered participation and inclusivity, break government monopoly to give wings for business to thrive, provide enabling infrastructural environment to reduce the cost of production, cut governance costs through devolution of powers to other tiers of government, and provide incentives to hardworking and entrepreneurial Nigerians.

Please trust yours truly, to deliver on these promises. We did it in the past under President Olusegun Obasanjo/Atiku Abubakar istration. We paid off Nigeria’s global debt, and liberalised the banking and telecommunications sectors, among others.

But dreams don’t come true if positive action is not activated and implemented. Let’s not rest on our oars, let’s be like the dynamic eagle and soar! Let’s rekindle hope by not giving up on the dream of a better Nigeria.

Long live Democracy in Nigeria. -AA

Atiku and Tinubu are two carbon copy .A kind of choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. Both of them understand the science of winning delegates and politicking.

But Atiku is better for the following reasons by looking at who Tinubu is :
Tinubu is a godfather since 1999 he has been
controlling Lagos expect that if he become president.

Tinubu does not forgive ,Ambode was removed even with pleading from other governors.Fashiola was lucky otherwise he would not have contest for 2nd term.

Tinubu has stake at alpha beta a revenue collecting company for Lagos. He may use the same formula in Abuja.

Tinubu believe in rewarding party faithfuls over the bigger electorate. He will make sure he satisfy who is who in the elite class and leave the masses in abject abandonment. Then tap on the elite class to achieve his goals.

Tinubu is not even healthy,he can't even waive his party flag that was giving to him without fumbling.The consequences of this is that his cabal will be dropping his name to do bad bad things because he will over delegates all the presidential powers .

Tinubu is greedy, all his family are holding one strategy position or the other in Lagos state even if one dies he replace with another.

Tinubu is corrupt.Lagos money was use to persecute the just concluded APC primaries that favors him and bullion van will be activated soon for the February election.

Okay

Everybody don wise Atiku, especially the youths, we are voting credible individuals, not party.

It's a pity that many still clamour to vote APC after what the country has degenerated to in the last 7yrs. In my opinion APC shouldn't even get a single vote in the next election if we Nigerians are sincere to ourselves.
But our mumu never still do because many of us still campaign for a 85yrs old man (oh sorry 70yrs old man) who sees the presidency as his life ambition and not an avenue to serve.

pot calling kettle black

It is written: If ye be willing and Obidient, ye shall eat the good of the land.

Nonsense.

Let’s make Nigeria great again. Buhari continuity in 2023. No going back!

Atiku himself and PDP are not worthy

If only Nigerian politicians will move when being kicked. They simply just turn the other face. For as long as they still can divide us along fault lines, then they are going nowhere

I honestly agree!

Kick out APC, and let PDP remain buried forever!

Nigeria politician sees politics like football match between 2 clubs whereas it goes beyond that

May God help us but please let's help ourselves too by getting our pvc and vote for the right candidate

Atiku's chances of becoming the president of Nigeria will be positively influence by a lot of factors, but mainly by Peter Obi's candidacy.

The south will vote sentimentally for Tinubu and Peter Obi. But the north will vote objectively with the quest to remain in power.

That's the mistake we make in the south, we go into the elections with misplaced priorities. Light, education, health jobs...bla, bla bla....as far as the north is concern, grab power first, we can discuss other issues later.

That's why Sokoto's state Governor stepped down for Atiku at the primary.

When the south is ready to play politics, I will know..for now.....we watch

APC will never be at the national level again.

When campaign start properly that is when those of you in favour of Muslim Muslim combination we understand the Christian view. In every churches in Nigeria, they will preach against that and it will get worst and greater troubles in our land. The election is game over for Tinubu. How? It's just too clear that Northern Christians that suffers the most will never vote for them. Southern Christians 80-90 percent will vote against him. However Atiku will gain much Muslim vote as well as Christian votes. CAN has said the church will campaign against any party the chose one religion. I have said it before, I preach he chose one relgion but Tinubu will not gain Christians vote. What is now the verdict. Game over for Tinubu.

.

The APC that you helped in ousting PDP ...now Dem never leave u?...they have left you behind

Both you and the APC will be kicked out.
Were you not part of the people who brought this APC government into power?
They are saying a vote for Peter Obi in an unpopular Labour Party will not count. That is a lie from the pit of hell. We can both vote and protect out vote to make them count.
The Youth has the largest chunk of the voting population, let's make our votes count by consciously voting someone we know has the capacity to put this country on the path to recovery and growth

Yes kick APC out and vote in Labour Party.
APC and PDP are filled with crooked politicians.

This is the only chance Nigerians have at steering the course of this country.
We cannot and we will not mess it up.

PETER OBI for president 2023.
