From Charity Nwakaudu, Abuja
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Candidate, Dumebi Kachikwu has stated that Nigerians may risk another four years to the government of the All Progressive Party ( APC), if the other parties fail to form a coalition within the next 24 hours.
Kachikwu made this disclosure at a press conference held in Abuja, on Thursday. He lamented that there is no pathway for the victory of his party looking at the present realities.
Kachikwu added that the naira crunch would provide a better ground for the candidate of the ruling party, as millions of Nigerians won’t be able to vote due to cash constraints.
He slaid:Outside of the Nigerian Civil War, the last eight years under the APC Government has been the toughest period ever for Nigerians since Independence. As President Buhari prepares to handover, he is unleashing more pain and misery on Nigerians with the misguided recolouring of the Naira.
He and his advisers believe that this would limit the undue advantage that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has with a huge war chest to buy over voters. What they have inadvertently done is make it easier for the APC candidate as millions of voters will be unable to exercise their democratic franchise because of cash constraints. Most of those affected by this will be the Labour Party supporters.
Except the PDP and Labour can reach an agreement in the next 24hrs on how to collaborate to win the elections, any vote for Peter Obi is a vote for Bola Tinubu. PDP and Labour need each other. It is that simple. As true democrats, the leadership of both PDP and Labour must find a way to work with the other smaller parties towards building a formidable coalition that ensures the contest is even.
He emphasized that any attempt to go this alone would guarantee another four years for the APC government.
The ADC Presidential Candidate further urged Nigerians to look beyond flaws and vote capabilities.” please vote Nigeria before religion and tribe. Vote Nigeria above pecuniary gain. Vote Nigeria above all other considerations because Nigeria remains the only nation we have.”
