Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government is “ill-equipped” to govern the country.
Abubakar, a former presidential candidate said this in Abuja on Saturday at the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said Nigerja has never been in bad shape as it is under the present administration.
Abubakar, however, said Nigerians still have a chance to turn things around with the support of the PDP, adding that the PDP is ready to rescue Nigeria from the “greater calamities” that may befall the country.
“The country is beset by economic and social challenges in all corners along with lingering tensions arising from questions surrounding the very nature of our corporate existence as a nation,” he said.
“Nigeria is at the edge of a precipice because of the lacklustre performance, complacency and needlessness of successive administrations culminating in the gross failure of this APC-led government.
“We have a chance now to save the ship for the right course. We have a chance to atone for the mistakes of past leadership in our collective past mistakes.
“We have a chance to unite the country on a march towards greatness; a chance to seize the opportunity to steer our country towards its rightful position amongst the comity of nations. We can save ourselves, we can save the party and we can save Nigeria together.
“The APC has proven itself to be ill-equipped to lead the nation. They have shown themselves to be the most corrupt, sectional and divisive party that was never prepared to lead this country and never even had an idea of what it takes to lead a diverse, dynamic and multi-religious country like Nigeria.”
