A Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, and member of the Abia state Advisory Council, Alhaji Suleiman Ukandu, has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress chairman in Abia state, Donatus Nwankpa, over a statement against a former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.
DAILY POST had Tuesday, reported that the Abia chairman of the APC, Donatus Nwankpa, had revealed that the main opposition PDP will lose in the entire south zone in the upcoming 2019 presidential election.
Addressing some select journalists in Umuahia, Wednesday morning, Ukandu declared that the emergence of Abubakar will lead to the funeral of the governing APC in 2019.
He pointed out that South-East has rejected APC and accused the Buhari-led administration of neglecting the zone in the execution of federal projects in the country.
The lawyer said the people of South-East zone will massively vote for the opposition party, pointing out that the Buhari-led government which had impoverished Nigeria people, will be voted out in the 2019 election.
According to him,”The APC chairman is entitled to his opinions. But viewing from the contemporary happening and the current state of Nigeria, I think the APC-led federal government has lost all the credibility, and efficacy to retain power in 2019.
“The way things are going now, it is treated towards change in governance. And If you look at the credentials of the two nominated candidates of PDP, every discerning mind and people who view things from objectivity would always know that mere producing of Atiku Abubakar as PDP presidential candidate, has already sent Buhari packing.
” And I think from my perspective, as somebody from the South-East zone, who will give the true account of political standing of all the political parties in the country, I would always say that, the entire south-east is rooted in PDP”.
On the choice of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi as Atiku”s running mate, he said,”The nomination of a very efficient economist and somebody who has been tested and trusted like Peter Obi, I think, that has given PDP a very big boost in the entire South-East and South-South zone.
” So, anybody who is saying PDP will lose in the entire South- East, must be living in the past. A good political watcher will in his innermost mind and in retrospect say, that the end has come for the Buhari-led government”.
