The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said that the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will take Nigeria from “frying pan to fire” if elected as president.
This was disclosed in a statement by Atiku’s Special Assistant on Public Media, Phrank Shaibu, on Sunday, adding that Tinubu’s message of fresh optimism is “hopelessness in disguise.”
He stated that Nigerians should guard their hearts from APC’s lies as they prepare for the election this week.
He said, “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 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 into fire.
“These are people who never muttered a word when students spent 10 months at home in 2020 and eight months at home in 2022 due to unprecedented university lecturers’ strike.
“These are people that never criticized the President at the height of the insecurity when schoolchildren were being abducted almost on a daily basis and when the naira witnessed a free fall that led to a sharp increase in the price of goods.”
