The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has said that the only way to end the high level of insecurity and poverty in Nigeria is to vote out President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and vote for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Saraki, who spoke on Christmas day on a joint live radio programme in Ilorin, Kwara State, described the untold hardship which he claimed the APC has subjected Nigerians to as unprecedented.
He emphasized that the only antidote to the present precarious economic and security situation in the country is for Nigerians to vote out the APC-led federal government and elect Atiku as the nation’s president in the next year’s general elections.
“Times are very hard for the masses as a result of the level of poverty in the country. Without sentiment, the present government has failed Nigerians. They must, therefore, ensure they vote for a leader that will address poverty and revive the economy, said Saraki.
“Nigerians will vote in February 2019 but the business community has already passed a vote of no confidence on this present government. I, therefore, urge Nigerians to vote out this government and vote a man that will restore investors’ confidence and get Nigeria working again. It is only one party that loves the common people and that’s our party, the PDP.
“I’m in politics to serve my people. When I campaigned in 2015, I pledged to Nigerians that my former party, APC will address the issues of insecurity, unemployment and poverty but unfortunately the party has failed on all these three scorelines.
“I thank God Almighty for the position that was given to Kwara as the number three citizen. We have cut across our zonal intervention projects in the state which wasn’t possible in the first four years as a floor member at the 7th Senate because ranking members add more value to the community/constituency.”
