Nigerians have been asked to ditch the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming 2023 general elections if they truly want to make head way in national development.
The presidential flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, took to his verified tweeter handle on Monday, to ask Nigerians to kick-out the APC via the ballot and enthrone a viable pathway for a new Nigeria.
Atiku, while reacting to the epileptic power supply experienced in recent times, said the collapse of the national grid is a metaphor for the collapsing state of critical aspects of the Nigerian state.
The presidential candidate in a tweet on Monday that, “The darkness that has enveloped the nation in the last couple of days with the collapse of the national grid is a metaphor for the collapsing state of our nation: collapsing unity, collapsing security, collapsing economy, collapsing education, collapsing well-being and collapsing value of human life and dignity.
“My expectation is that Nigerians will collapse the ruling APC in kind via the ballot and enthrone a viable pathway for the New Nigeria of our dreams that will be united and stable, prosperous and awash with opportunities; secured and inclusive. As One, we can get it done.”
The national electricity grid collapsed, a record sixth time in 2022, throwing several cities including the Federal Capital Territory into darkness.
