2019: Nigerians Will Smile When PDP Wins Presidency, Says Obi

Nigerians will smile when the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP wins the February 16th presidential election, the vice presidential candidate of the party, Mr. Peter Obi has assured.

Mr Obi who gave the assurance while addressing newsmen before embarking on a road show in Awka, Anambra state, on Tuesday, said his party would restore the country’s days of economic prosperity which had suffered setback under the All Progressives Congress, APC administration.

According to him, the country is collapsing under the watch of incompetent and incapable people; come out en mass on Feb. 16 and vote out this the APC controlled-government, adding that voting back the APC meant “prolonging the suffering in the land”.

“Nigeria has the highest number of poor people in the world today where about 90 millions are poor that is half of the population.

“About 21 million youths are unemployed, nobody is happy with situation in the country today and any person that is happy with the situation is not a normal human being.

“PDP is coming back to restore happiness and lessen the sufferings of the people,’’ he said.

Earlier, Mr Oseloka Obaze, Chairman of Atiku-Obi Presidential Campaign Council in Anambra, said the PDP was coming with positive ideas on how to rebuild Nigeria.

Obaze expressed confidence on the chances of PDP to win the presidential election, saying Nigerians need a new lease of life.

“PDP findings show that Nigerians are not happy with the present government of APC and re-electing them will worsen the sufferings of the people.

“If you vote for the present government to return, things will be worse than we had in the last three years and half.

“They made several promises in 2015 and they have not fulfilled any, we want to restore the economy and human dignity in the next four years,’’ he said.

Obaze said there was nothing to show that PDP governors in South-East were against the Atiku/Obi ticket as no one had come out openly to say he was not supporting it.

“The PDP governors in the South-East are solidly behind Atiku-Obi ticket, so there is no need to worry about,’’ he said.
