The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges President Muhammadu Buhari to
be prepared to accept defeat in the 2019 general election, given that
all indices, including those released by his Presidency, show that
Nigerians across board have overtly rejected him for another four years
in office.
Indeed, with the degenerated economic, security and social situations in
our nation under his incompetent and anti-people administration, in
addition to the spate and weight of direct disapprovals from Nigerians
and international bodies, President Buhari knows that he is now swimming
against the tide.
Apart from the acute poverty, hunger and starvation he brought,
Nigerians have reached a consensus that President Buhari has betrayed
the trust of the ordinary people, particularly in the north, especially
with scandalous revelations that he is not indeed pro-poor and uncorrupt
as they were made to believe in 2015.
This is in addition to his disconcerting aloofness to the plight of
citizens, his failure to initiate and implement any development project
in any party of the country and the refusal to fulfill the littlest of
his 2015 campaign promises.
Today, the electorate have come to terms with the fact that the promises
by President Buhari and his APC are all a big scam.
In fact, our investigations have revealed that President Buhari never
intended to fulfill any of his promises. This is because, three years
down the line, our President cannot even boast of any clear-cut
implementation blueprint on his promises.
Instead, our dear President and his cronies acquired a life of opulence,
going on foreign tastes and swimming in ocean of corruption, while
million of Nigerians who voted him into power are abandoned to
languished in poverty and bloodletting occasioned by the APC misrule.
President Buhari’s handlers, in their shouting match, should know that
Nigerians are only clamouring for his expulsion from Aso Rock come 2019
because our nation does not have provisions for mid-term elections. Had
such been in our statutes book, Nigerians would have since chased this
incompetent, insensitive and tactless President away from office.
It is a notorious fact that our dear nation and our citizens have not
had it this bad since our independence in 1960, leading to the general
indignation against the Buhari Presidency.
Even President Buhari’s aide, Mallam Shehu Garba, has acknowledged that
Nigerians across board, including parliamentarians, policemen, custom
officials, immigration officials, civil servants and the business
community are all clamouring for an end to the Buhari Presidency, come
2019.
Now that the multitude of artisans, market women, transporters,
labourers, small scale entrepreneurs and professionals, whose businesses
have collapsed are teamed with the army of unemployed youths, deprived
widows and victims of bloodlettings across our country, in clamouring
against President Buhari, who then is left to vote for him in 2019.
The Presidency should therefore not be surprised that our citizens are
now rallying on the platform of the repositioned PDP, a party known for
all-inclusiveness and people-oriented policies, to rescue the nation
from grips of the Buhari-led APC administration.
