Nkire said he strongly believes that the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will be elected and will not let Nigerians down but will deliver on his promises to improve the economy, create jobs for the teeming population of jobless Nigerians and fight insurgency.
Nkire, who spoke to newsmen in Kano, insisted that the APC will regret forcing out strong and popular members, including Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from the ruling party.
He said PDP will win the election if the crowds at campaign grounds are anything to go buy.
Nkire said that “going by the unprecedented crowd at the rally, it was obvious that what was APC’s loss will become PDP’s gain the forthcoming general elections.”
He said “Nigeria is coming of age and that any political party that adopts arrogance and discrimination as a creed, without respect for each other, is bound to face the fate that awaits the ruling party at the polls.
Nkire, who is now a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, BoT, called on Nigerians to begin to hold their leaders accountable.
According to him, “even as it is almost certain that Atiku will be president in 2019, if he fails to keep his promises, Nigerians will vote him out in 2023.”
He said the ruling party would certainly pay dearly for also maltreating people like Atiku, Senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, Sokoto Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and others.
