Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
A former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said the All Progressives Congress is ready to rescue Nigeria from the throes of insecurity, infrastructural decay and other problems militating against the development of the country.
Atiku, who is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the APC, spoke in Osogbo on Thursday when he visited the party secretariat in an apparent move to woo delegates from the state.
He said he was moved to offer himself up to salvage the worsening situations in the country, saying everything lawful must be done to snatch the nation from bad leaders.
Atiku said, “It is sad that all the sectors in the country are dangerously drifting and not working as expected. We need to act urgently to rescue the nation. I am compelled to offer my services to rescue Nigeria from precipice and contribute towards stabilising it.
“What is right in Nigeria at the moment? Is it education, security, aviation or health? The onus is on me as a statesman to offer my services for our country and salvage it. If we all agreed that things are not right, what is next is how to remedy the situation. The APC is ready to offer leadership and direction to move Nigeria forward. We are ready to rescue Nigeria from collapse. This is achievable with the support of Nigerians.”
The presidential aspirant urged Nigerians to shun religious sentiment and ethnicity while voting in 2015.
Atiku refuted rumour that he would defect from the APC if he loses the presidential ticket.
He assured that all the APC presidential aspirants had agreed that they would support whoever emerged as the presidential candidate of the party.
According to him, the chances of the APC winning the 2015 presidential race were becoming brighter every day.
The APC presidential aspirant added that the nation at this time needed a leader who would act fast to restore peace and put it back on the path to development.
The state Deputy Governor, Mrs. Titi Laoye-Tomori, who received Atiku on behalf of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, said the people of Osun State were ready to vote out President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
The Chairman of the APC in the state, Mr. Gboyega Famoodun, stated that despite intimidation by the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government during the August 9 governorship election in Osun State, the party won convincingly.
