2023: Voting out APC only way out of economic downturn — Ayu
Akintunde Jacobs, Akure
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, has disclosed that the only way out to the high cost of living and economic downturn in Nigeria is to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming 2023 general elections in the Country.
Ayu, who disclosed this on Sunday after the installation of former Governorship candidate of the party in Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede as Balogun of the Cathedral Church of Saint David Ijomu Akure, the Ondo State Capital, said life has become unbearable since 2015 when the ruling APC assumed the leadership of the Country.
The PDP National Chairman, who was represented by the Secretary of the party, Sam Anyanwun, blamed the APC for destroying the economy, noting that government of APC has brought untold hardship on the people.
According to him, the only way out is to vote out the party and install the government that would bring development to the people.
His words, “Nigerians are suffering. The price of a bag of rice is more than minimum wage of workers. When PDP was ruling, things were cheap. University students have stayed at home for almost a year under the leadership of APC government.”
He, however, said for Nigerians to live a meaningful life, they should vote for PDP’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubarkar and other candidates of the party.
His words: “Atiku is the only pan Nigeria candidate. Others are regional candidates. It is obvious from the performance of APC led government that Atiku will win.
“APC is camping for PDP. APC is dead. Atiku is the most experience in the country. The ticket of Atiku-Okowa is the best for the country.”
While the Archbishop of Ecclesiastical Province of Ondo, and Bishop of Anglican Diocese Revd Simeon Borokini charged Christians to take over the leadership of the country and live by God’s standard.
Borokini said Nigerians need Christians that are ready to say the truth and face the consequences for the betterment of the nation.
According to him, “As we move towards election, what Nigerians need is a Christian as leader that will perform his responsibility as it is expected of him.
“Those of us that carry the banner of Christ to every sector of the economy should let Christ reflect in our responsibility. You should go out to say the truth and be ready to face the consequences, because we need men and women who can say the truth with boldness.”
