The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Nigerians not to vote those who will steal from the country’s treasury.
In a statement on Thursday, Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC spokesman, said it is time for Nigerians to reject the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which he said is desperate to hijack power by “hook or crook”.
Issa-Onilu said the country’s resources was “privatised” during the 16 years PDP was in power.
“The APC call on Nigerians to turn out en-masse and use their votes to send a clear message to treasury looters who want to hijack presidential power by hook or crook,” he said.

“Never again should Nigerians allow them return to power to continue embezzling our resources. We must all remember how, under the PDP’s 16-year watch, our commonwealth was wantonly privatised and used to fund their political activities.
“The world has been daily assailed by outcomes of investigations showing the humongous funds that past PDP administrations stole and laundered for private use.
“In the most inhumane manner, counter-insurgency votes where channeled to private pockets while terrorists ravaged communities, the citizenry and siezed our territory. Our national economy was pushed to the verge of recession and cleverly papered over with voodoo economics employed by the PDP administrations.”

The spokesman said the APC is the “best credible alternative in terms of an incorruptible presidential candidate that can sustain the march towards a national rebirth.”
