Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Senator representing Katsina South at the red chamber, Senator Abu Ibrahim has blasted the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, informing that he cannot fight the course of the common man.
Abu who said Atiku only fights for himself disclosed this in Abuja on Tuesday while fielding questions from newsmen over the former vice president emergence as the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party.
When asked if the Kaduna senator sees the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as a challenge to the president Buhari’s victory at the poll in 2019, Senator Abu Ibrahim replied that Atiku is not an unknown person and that Atiku has been a member of every known political party in Nigeria.
According to him, “People don’t take Atiku as a serious person because he can’t keep leadership and he cannot fight the course of the common man, he only fights for himself.
“He is identical to my boss, Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki. Atiku and Saraki are the same kind of people. So that is why they say that birds of the same feather flock together, he said.
“I am not afraid of Atiku’s candidature. I think Buhari will defeat him thoroughly and he will get his retirement as a politician, he concluded.
The senator who urged electorates to vote based on the issues of development, reminded that 16 years of PDP was wasted years therefore should not be allowed there again to continue to mess up things.
He said that APC as a new party have seen the problems PDP government created and that the party is taking steps to correcting them. Senator Abu who listed fighting against corruption as one of the achievements of his party, noted that the economy has improved reasonably well.
“We were once in recession we are now out of it, we are doing things that are in the interest of common man, the N-Power programme, adding that this has never been done before; school feeding, Money market- all these things are done to carter for the middle level person as well as market women, Abu said.
