FCT, Abuja - Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) say Nigeria cannot survive another four years under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Daily Trust newspaper quoted him as saying:
“Can Nigeria survive another 4 years of APC? The answer is a resounding No. It is too frightening to contemplate. PDP remains the only credible alternative to APC and we cannot afford to fail Nigerians. We must keep hope alive. We can do it. Yes, we can, as Obama would say.”

Tambuwal said the PDP must strategise to take over in 2023, adding that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government had in the past six years failed to take the country to the heights expected by Nigerians.
He said the ruling APC had demonstrated gross incompetence in managing the fortune of the country.
He called on PDP leaders to think outside the box, rather than resorting to criticisms only and rescue Nigeria for good.
Meanwhile, a PDP chieftain who attended the retreat, Adamu Ayitogo, told Legit.ng during a telephone interview that the party is ready to take over from the APC in 2023.
He said:
“It is a new era for our party. There is a renewed vigour within our midst to rescue Nigeria from bad governance and I believe this retreat is the beginning of this new dawn.”
