Speaking to the PDP supporters, Atiku said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed in every area.

According to Vanguard, he said “I want to plead with all of you (Nigerians), you know the Party that gave you good economy, security and improved infrastructure in 16 years. That Party is Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“…My fellow brothers and sisters from Adamawa State, it is time we take back our state, Adamawa State and that time is almost here you can see the mammoth crowd in Adamawa today.

“This shows that our party, the PDP is the only Party of choice in Nigeria. In the coming weeks, there shall be political tsunami in Nigeria, many people are warming up to return to our Party as you are already aware, the President Muhammadu Buhari led APC has failed in all ramifications.

“The APC has failed to provide security, economy and the officials of this government are swimming in corruption. The APC as a Party has collapsed.”
