Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP, Mr. Peter Obi, has called on Nigeria to see the General election of February, 2019 as decisive about the future and economic progress of Nigeria and not about the usual casting of votes because of vested interests. Obi said this, in Rano, Kano State, during the PDP Kano South Senatorial rally.
Obi said that over three years now, that the foundations of Nigeria had come under serious threats due to incompetent governance, inadequate attention to the economy which has spiraled into unprecedented unemployment, inflation, economic hardship and mistaken outspokenness on corruption for real policies that will make corruption unattractive.
Obi said the only way to stop what he described as “the backwards movement of the country”, was by sending those that have failed to improve our lives out of power through the ballots.
“When I became the Governor of Anambra State, I did not complain about what I met on ground.

“God, I believe, gave us eyes in the front to look forward and not backwards. This does not mean that we should not take note of the past in order to build great future, but the case of failing to solve even one of Nigerians’ many problems and to perpetually resort to blame game is a sign of incompetence to govern.
“What Nigerians should do is to vote in Atiku/Obi for their proven track records of successes in employment generation, wealth creation and consensus building among Nigerians,” Obi said.
If elected into office, Obi said that they would create jobs, secure and unify the country.
The rally which had the likes of Gbenga Daniel in attendance was addressed by Fmr. Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso who assured that Kano was for the PDP to rebuild the country almost at the verge of total collapse.
