Presidential poll: Oshiomhole, Amaechi hit Atiku, PDP in Kaduna

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, on Friday said that the fundamental issues of the party’s campaign were the pronouncement by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to sell the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)

Oshiomhole spoke at the APC Kaduna rally attended by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He lambasted Atiku for the idea, saying it was the same way they (PDP government) sold NITEL, NEPA, Nigerian Airways and other government agencies.

The former Edo governor said the people should resist the move by not voting for Atiku and PDP.

He called on the electorate to reject the PDP because it was responsible for the collapse of the biggest textile industries in Kaduna State, sending thousands of people out of job.

Oshiomole said Kaduna is home to the President and himself, adding “with what I have seen here today, the APC has already won the general elections.

“I am therefore calling on you to ensure that you vote for all of the candidates of the APC from top to bottom during the general elections.”

Earlier, the Director General, APC Presidential Campaign Council, Rotimi Amaechi, urged party supporters to vote the party all through to ensure smooth running of the APC administration.

“APC will see votes, but I must advise you, PDP has a rigging machinery.

“PDP will be happy if you make mistakes during the polls. President Buhari has lived all his life a hero and you owe him that duty of returning him to power,” Amaechi said.
