He cited the foisting of President Buhari’s relation to head the collation of presidential election results as well as hounding of judicial officers to buttress his claims.
According to him, “President Buhari has stolen your jobs. He has stolen your rights. Don’t let him steal your votes. They are preparing the ground to steal your votes. I know that Nigerians are ready to ‘Get Nigeria Working Again’, but don’t let President Buhari steal your votes."
He further lamented that the Buhari administration has ruined the nation’s economy, adding that Nigeria has never had it so bad since independence.
“Nigeria has never been in such a bad shape as we have today, not even during the civil war. Things are really bad. We have never had the economy this bad and the nation has not been so insecure as we are under the Buhari administration. That is why we all must work together to rescue our nation and make it work again,” he said.
Atiku further urged Nigerians not to despair, saying he has perfected templates that would ensure rapid economic recovery, massive employment opportunity and strategic avenues for empowerment of Nigerians in all sectors of life.
