Before the upcoming 2023 general elections, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, advised Nigerians to be vigilant and resist any attempts by the incumbent All Progressives Congress to deceive them once more.
The promise of renewed optimism expressed by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling APC, was characterized by Atiku as “hopelessness in disguise” in a statement released on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu.
He said, “It is one week to the election, and expectedly, campaigns have reached fever pitch. But amid the excitement and tension, voters must guard their hearts jealously as the ruling APC will try to use every subterfuge and stratagem in its manual to deceive them once more. These last days are similar to the end time predicted in the Holy books.
“Nigerians must not let themselves to be deceived by this corn-man selling renewed hopelessness disguised as renewed hope. Your hope will be stolen from you if he is allowed to govern Nigeria. That indeed will be a state of hopelessness – hell on earth, frying pan to fire.”
