Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the 2023 general election, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as destroyers, adding that they don\u2019t deserve to be supported.<\/p>\n

Atiku, who stated this while addressing party supporters in Benin, Edo State, Saturday during his party\u2019s presidential rally, urged the people to continue to be loyal to the PDP.<\/p>\n

He said the APC has destroyed the educational system, economy, infrastructure and failed to address the security challenges facing the country.<\/p>\n

The former Vice President also reiterated his commitment to tackle insecurity, improve economy, unify the country and fight insecurity.<\/p>\n

Atiku stated \u201cWe have promised to reunify this country. What do we mean by that? We mean we are going to give each and every part of this country a sense of belonging. You will not be excluded in anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo, we promise to restore security. Whatever it is going to take us to do it, we will restore security in this country so that you can travel day and night, so that you can go to your farms, so that you can go to anywhere secured.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will put more policemen on the streets. We will equip them; we will fortify them and since we have promised to devolve more powers to the states and local governments, you can also have your own local police. We shall make sure your local police don\u2019t harass you.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree, we will send back all our eligible children to school. They must go to school; every child must go to school.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you remember, during the PDP years, we established compulsory primary school education from primary to secondary school and we are tasking Nigerians to educate these children. But this government is not keeping to that promise. We promise you; every child must go to school and our universities will not go on strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, we promise to revive the economy of this country. We will make sure that our industries, our factories, resume production in this country. We will make sure that there are enough jobs for our youths who are passing out from the schools. This is what we mean by reviving the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have seen how APC has destroyed this country, destroyed the economy of this country. They have destroyed your educational opportunities. They have destroyed your job opportunities. APC is not a party to be supported. They are destroyers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we call on you to continue to be loyal to PDP and PDP will be loyal to you\u201d.<\/p>\n
