Governor of Adamawa state, Ahmadu Fintiri has stated that Nigerians can trust the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to bring sustainable development to the country.
This was stated on Saturday by Fintiri at the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja.
Fintiri said the opposition party is ready to take over power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023.
According to the governor, Nigerians can rely on the PDP.
“We have always been there for Nigeria at its perilous time of need. We are not just a vehicle for winning elections, but a symbolism for a free, democratic and prosperous Nigeria that works for every citizen,” he said.
“We have demonstrated our commitment to these time tested ideals that Nigerians have every reason to trust us enough more than a contraption that was formed solely for the purpose of winning election and around the personal ambitions of certain individuals bereft of the knowledge of what to do with the victory.
“The PDP has traversed multiple stages of institutional consolidation that places it far ahead of any other political party in Nigeria. In spite of any setback, the party has remained afloat and is waxing stronger with all its statutory organs functioning, from the BoT, to the NWC and the NEC. The other contraption cannot boast of the same credentials.”
He criticised the APC for driving the country into “recession”, adding that Nigeria stands a better chance of experiencing “good governance” if the PDP is in power.
“For Nigeria, the present APC-led-government is hell-bent on railroading the country into multifaceted recession in all fronts; from the economy to governance, national security to diplomacy, poverty to unemployment, anti-corruption to the observance of the rule of law, citizenship to national cohesion,” he said.
“Indeed, the country has never had it this bad. That Nigeria is better by far with PDP in power is not in doubt. That the people relish on those golden moments when the PDP held sway at the centre is not in doubt.
“That citizens are yearning for the return of PDP at the centre as the 2023 elections draw nearer is equally not in doubt. We, therefore, have a duty not to disappoint our teeming supporters. We have to take back our country as we have always done.
“We have to save Nigeria. If we could force the country out of the clutches of the military, we can do this one huge task — push the people who don’t know the true definition of good governance and national coexistence out of power. This is a Nigeria rescue mission. This is the role PDP was invented to play.”
