The Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has assured Nigerians that
he would fulfil his promise to restructure Nigeria if elected in Saturday’s
presidential election.
The former Vice President
gave the assurance during PDP’s campaign rally in Lagos State on Tuesday.
He stated that unlike the
All Progressives Congress, APC, which he claimed has failed to deliver on its
promises, he would fulfill his promises to create jobs for millions of
unemployed Nigerians.
Atiku also promised to
remove congestion in Lagos state which he said had virtually crippled the
economy of the state.
He said, “Let me assure you
and let me assure the people of Lagos state and South-West, you know I am not
like APC. When I promise something I will do it. I promised Nigerians that I am
going to restructure this country, I am going to do it.
“Look at what they have
done. Our traffic cannot move. On the day the President was coming, they
removed all the trucks. No sooner he left all the trucks are back. With a PDP
government, you are not going to have this congestion again. So the people of
Lagos, please vote for PDP all the way.”
Also speaking, the PDP
National Chairman, Uche Secondus, said by electing his party in the forthcoming
elections, Lagos would regain freedom from the “hand of emperor”.
He decried that many
industries and businesses had shut down in Lagos which is the commercial
capital of the Nigeria since the APC assumed power.
“Since 2015, there has been
go-slow in Lagos, all businesses shut down, all industries shut down. Unemployment
has increased. Economy has collapsed. Security has collapsed,” he said.
