He People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has described the All Progressives Congress as a party of hoax.
He added that APC misled Nigerians to get re-election in 2019.

“Someone came to you in a hurry a few weeks before the 2019 general elections and commissioned the Port of Baro, but since after that commissioning, not a single activity has been carried out there.
“You voted thinking that the port will work and bring jobs to the people, but now you know better.”
The former Vice President also said that the APC government came with the slogan ‘Change’, adding that the change came in a negative way for the people of the country, adding that they came with insecurity and hunger.
The presidential candidate has vowed to rebuild roads and restructure health systems should he emerge as president after the next election.
In reaction, APC Presidential Campaign Council spokesman Festus Keyamo described Atiku’s statement as an insult to Nigerians.
He said: “This is coming from a man Nigerians have never trusted with their votes. Such a statement is an insult to Nigerians. In 2019, 15 million Nigerians voted against him.
“Nigerians know Atiku Abubakar very well. They know that he cannot be trusted. That is why they continue to reject it at the polls and they are going to reject it this time.
“Atiku cannot lie on his way to power and with the recent exposure of the SPP saga, he has fallen further out of the trust of Nigerians.”
