Wife of the former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP),  Titi Atiku-Abubakar  said the Muhammadu Buhari  government has been a disappointment as it has failed to meet the yearnings of Nigerians.

This is just as the former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Olabode George cautions the Federal Government on its anti – rule of law stance.

Speaking at a PDP town hall meeting in Lagos,  Wednesday, Titi Atiku – Abubàkar said that the Nigeria citizens have not enjoyed the dividends of democracy anticipated when they voted for APCin 2015.

“This government has failed Nigerians  and we must not allow them to terrorise us during the forthcoming election when we will be sending them packing. They have failed us in all aspects of life and our vote is the only tools  that we can use to right the wrong.

“During the election they are going to bring soldiers to intimidate us, but we need to stand by our vote and ensure it count. As you all know, my husband is going to run an  all – inclusive government.

“My husband, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri of Adamawa has promised to give youth 30 percent in his administration while 40 percent is for women. He is going to give youth some ministerial post so that they can learn governance.

“He is not a religion bigot, he is not a nepotist and he is not tribalistic in nature. Atiku is a unifier and a sellable material that will unify Nigeria.

Corroborating her view, former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Bode George, urged Nigerians to assess their present status before voting, “If you are in Nigeria from age 18 and above, ask yourself before voting whether you are better off today than before.

“If you are better, then vote for APC but if you are not then you need to vote for a reliable alternative which is PDP.

George appealed to those in government to respect the will of the people.

“If the present administration try to undermine the will of the people, Venezuela will be a child’s play. I am saying this because  I don’t want the repeat of what happened in 1963″, George said.

He expressed concern over the change in voting arrangements,  saying “they said they will do accreditation simultaneously with voting, how will you know the number of those who are accredited to vote?

“If they don’t do it properly, the rest of the world is watching, Nigeria is already a lamp that the rest of Africa is watching so we cannot avoid to do what is undemocratic”.
