Former minister of Sports and Youth Development, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi on Wednesday urged Nigerians to vote out All Progressive Congress, APC, said the ruling party has no solution to the myriad of problems facing the nation.
The ex-minister, said the 2023 general elections offer Nigerians another historic opportunity to make Nigeria work again.
Stated that the dream of making Nigeria great could only be achieved if citizens, through the balloting chased away politicians in the fold of APC.
Abdullahi, Kwara central senatorial candidate of the PDP in the forthcoming general election expressed this while appearing on the 33rd edition of the ‘Media Parliament’ of the Kwara State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) held in Ilorin, the state capital.
“The APC government has brought this nation to its kneels. All the things we thought could not happened had happened in the last seven years. There is no way we can exonerate APC from the problems of this country. APC has ruined this country. Nigerians should say no to any politician seeking elective office under APC. 2023 presents historic opportunity to make Nigeria work again.
“Every Nigerian lives in fear today because of the problems of insecurity and poverty. The poorest of the poor are 90 million in Nigeria today. But we seem not to understand the magnitude of the problem facing us. We carry on as if all is well. We are treating cancer with wrapping bandage on it.”
Abdullahi also traced Nigeria’s problem to 1966 when the nation had its first coup plot, said that no nation can have peace without justice.
He added: After the civil war our leaders ought to realise that the Nigeria that the British gave us could not work. We should have restructured the country then.
“Another opportunity we missed to make Nigeria a real nation was the annulment of June 12. We diagnosed the issue as if it was a Yoruba problem and decided to make one of them a president in 1999. We had a lot of opportunities in June 12 debacle but we bungled them.
