Former Vice President and Presidential candidate of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar has taken another swipe at the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.
The former Vice President who spoke during the ongoing convention of the PDP on Saturday said Nigeria has never been in a worse shape since his 70 plus years on earth.
When he took his turn to address the convention on Saturday, the former Vice President who recently returned on a sojourn to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) did not waste any time in seizing the opportunity to project himself.
His supporters, bearing his 2023 presidential campaign posters, marched toward the podium singing and drumming.
Atiku lamented that the country had never witnessed such decline in security, economy and the living standard of majority of Nigerians.
“I am 70 years plus but I have never seen Nigeria in such a bad shape; disunited, insecure with the economy in tatters.
“We have a chance to unite this country for greatness and we are going to make use of that opportunity come 2023,” Atiku said among others.
At a point, he had to plead with his singing and drumming supporters to pause when he realised that his voice was being drowned by the noise from the supporters.
