Guber poll: A vote for APC is an endorsement of misery — Atiku warns Edo voters

Barely three days to the much awaited governorship election in Edo State, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has warned voters in the state that casting a ballot for the All Progressives Congress (APC) will amount to an endorsement of misery and hardship.

He asked the voters to ask themselves if their lives have been better under the administration of the APC.

In a statement titled “The Clear Choice for a Prosperous Edo State”, Atiku berated APC for its handling of Nigeria’s economic situation, arguing that the party has deepened poverty, insecurity, and despair across the nation.

“They criticized past leaders for raising fuel prices, yet fuel now costs over N900 per litre. Their cruelty and disregard for the masses are unmatched,” Atiku stated.

Mr Atiku also stressed that voting for PDP candidate Dr. Asue Ighodalo would mean supporting progress and consolidating Governor Godwin Obaseki’s achievements.

“The APC has donned the mask of a friend to the masses, but their leadership has left millions in hunger, unemployment, and despair. Let your vote be the voice of change.

“They have forsaken the ideals of governance, ignoring the cries of the common man while pursuing their own selfish ambitions.

“Under their watch, Nigeria has been plunged into an abyss of suffering. They have sown seeds of poverty, despair, and insecurity.

“The once vibrant spirit of our nation has been dimmed by a relentless struggle for survival, where even the simplest of needs, like food, have become out of reach for millions.

“In this grim reality, our people are not dying of disease but of hunger. We stand at the lowest point in our nation’s governance. The APC has not served the people; they have served themselves,” Atiku added.
