Nigerians can’t survive another four years under the APC, say PDP governors

Nigerians cannot survive four more years under the ruling All Progressives Congress, according to governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) (APC).

Aminu Tambuwal, Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Governor of Sokoto State, said this at the opening ceremony of the PDP National Retreat 2021, which is themed ‘It’s Time to Rescue and Rebuild Nigeria.’

Tambuwal stated that the PDP must plan to take power in 2023 because President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has failed to take Nigeria to the heights expected by Nigerians in the last six years.

He claimed that the ruling APC had shown gross incompetence in managing the country’s fortunes.

He urged PDP leaders to think creatively rather than criticize in order to save Nigeria for good.

He also stated that in order for Nigeria to survive, it must embrace restructuring.

“Will Nigeria be able to withstand another four years of APC rule?” The answer is a categorical no. It’s too terrifying to think about. We cannot afford to fail Nigerians because the PDP remains the only credible alternative to the APC. We must maintain hope. We’ve got this. “Yes, we can,” he said, quoting Obama.

Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s National Chairman-elect, stated that Nigeria has been brutalized, robbed, and traumatized over the past six years.

He claimed that the wider party leadership’s retreat from across Nigeria was necessitated by Nigerians’ duty and expectations of them to rescue and rebuild a country that was already “in very deep trouble.”

Professor Jerry Gana, a former minister of information, gave an overview of the PDP’s highs and lows since its founding in 1998, urging party leaders and stakeholders to stay focused and forge a united front in the task of wresting power from the ruling APC in 2023.

PDP was crying for its political survival as a party, not the survival of Nigerians, according to APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary Yekini Nabena.

“The PDP is desperate for political survival, which is why its members have turned into scavengers and jumped ship to the APC. Because of their desire for power, the PDP will not be able to survive the next four years. Nigerians, on the other hand, will survive,” he said.
