Former Vice-President
Atiku Abubakar says the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is the worst
since democracy returned to Nigeria in 1999.
Abubakar
said this on Saturday when he paid a courtesy visit to Ahmed Makarfi, former
caretaker committee chairman of the opposition party.
Abubakar
and Makarfi are presidential aspirants of the PDP.
“You
can definitely acknowledge that since the return of democracy, we have not had
a worst period than now, whether in terms of economy, whether in terms of
unity, whether in terms of security, this is the worst time since 1999,” he
said.
“The
maladministration of the APC government is very evident, we have the highest
record of unemployment since 1999, we have the highest inflation, we have
multiple exchange rates that discourage foreign investment. We have the highest
level of insecurity since 1999.
“People
are more angry, people are poorer more than at anytime. Nigeria is rated as the
headquarters of poverty in the world. This is unthinkable for a country that is
endowed with human and natural resources like ours, just because of lack of
clear headed leadership and direction, this is where we find ourselves. So, it
is obvious that we just have to change the leadership of this country.”
