“2023 will be a referendum on your failed policies”
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the opposition party, Peoples Democratic party, has slammed the ruling All Progressives Congress as he ridicules the party’s ongoing primary elections.
Atiku, who is probably watching the event’s broadcast, gave his two cents on the party’s politicians as he submitted that the 2023 elections will be a referendum on their failed policies.
The former vice president’s comment follows public outcry against the rising insecurity, unemployment, food prices, among others under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration.
On Twitter, amid the ongoing APC primary elections, Atiku wrote: “The APC can gloss over everything, but not its scorecard for the mandate Nigerians gave to the party. The 2023 elections will be a referendum on the failed policies of the administration.”
