Godwin Obaseki, Governor of Edo State, has warned that if Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate, is elected, Nigeria will fall apart completely.
Obaseki made this statement on Monday in Benin at the inauguration of the People’s Democratic Party’s Edo State Campaign Management Council. He said that no administration had ever done as much damage to Nigeria as the APC government had, noting that the country’s debt profile under the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd)-led government has reached N60 trillion.
He said that the PDP needs to win the elections in 2023 to save the country from the APC, which is in charge.
Obaseki asserted: “God forbid APC comes into power, this country will break; this country will fail, it has already failed, because no government has ever done the kind of damage the APC has done to this country
“As I speak today, the debt of this country is going to N60 trillion. When are we going to come out of it? Every day, every month, they are printing and printing money to pay salaries. When I cried out years ago, I never knew it was as bad as this. What will happen to the Naira? Only God will help us. They (APC) has destroyed the basis of this country. Electing Tinubu will lead to a total collapse of the country.
“APC is threatening the coexistence of this country, but by the grace of God, when we come into power, we will revive this country. We will make this country what it ought to be.
Obaseki, the Edo State Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, urged the ten members of the team to help Atiku win the 2023 elections and free the country from the APC. He also said that the party had to win a majority of the seats in the National Assembly.
“Whatever sacrifice we must make, we must make it to change the fortune of this country. This election is an essential one for us. This election is very important to us as a government because we cannot be in the opposition. Opposition is very useless,” he added.
