The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has warned Nigerians against voting for the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Tinubu said a vote for PDP would be an error that would be hard to correct, as the PDP candidate is only interested in the presidential race to enrich himself and his friends.
The APC presidential candidate made the assertion during the APC campaign rally at Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Tuesday.
He alleged that if given the opportunity again, Atiku would sell Nigeria to his friends in the name of privatisation.
According to him, “You earned a favourable and great place in the history of our progressive party and of the nation when you voted for the APC to chase the PDP out of this beautiful and historic town. You kicked them out and now they want to come back.
“Do not let them back in. They only want to devour what they could not take the first time. If you give them the chance, they will strip Kwara and Nigeria bare to the bone.
“The PDP candidate in the race is well known for selling everything that has the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s name on it. If it is part of the public treasure or national patrimony, he is looking to pawn it to one of his shady partners.
“He wants to sell off your chance at a decent job, good schools, a nice home, and a happy life. His aim is to sell and turn our public assets into his private profit. He wants you to go hungry so that he can feast off the abundance of the land.”
On the recent revelation by one of Atiku’s former aides, Michael Achimugu where the former vice president himself admitted to setting up Special Purpose Vehicle companies to siphon the country’s funds.
Tinubu said, “Before today, we used to call him Mr. Privatise. But today, we must give him a new name. One that comes from his own mouth.”
