Reaction has continued to trailed Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s statement that the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has so much to offer Nigerians.
Atiku, a former Vice President and 2019 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, made the statement while urging the party National Working Committee to ensure that Nigerians in all zones keep faith with the party.
“The Peoples Democratic Party is the best friend Nigeria could have. All geopolitical zones deserve a political party that believes in Nigeria and not a party that believes otherwise”, Atiku said in a twitter post.
He however, stated that; “The PDP has much to offer all parts of Nigeria, and I urge all Nigerians in all zones to keep faith with a party that has kept faith with Nigeria and will be equitable to all”, he added.
Reacting over Atiku’s statement, Nigerians has said they do not want either him or his party, the PDP. This is following resolve by the Nigerian Youths to do away with the two dominant political parties (PDP and APC) come 2023.
The resolve came on the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests organized by the Nigerian youths.
Meanwhile, social media users has told Atiku to bury his ambition to run for president in 2023. According to them, both PDP and ruling APC has nothing special to offer Nigeria.
