The All Progressives Congress, APC, says Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Donald Duke and Seyi Makinde are no match for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
The party’s National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, said this on Thursday while receiving members of the Forum of APC House of Representatives Aspirants at the national secretariat in Abuja.
He said the opposition cannot stand side-by-side comparison of records with Tinubu.
The four are presidential candidates of the African Democratic Congress, ADC; Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC; Peoples Redemption Party, PRP; and Allied People’s Movement, APM.
“No political party, as it stands today, has a more credible candidate than President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We have facts; we have records that if we put them vis-à-vis any other candidate that is on this ballot, none match our own candidate. None. I mean, none. None.
“Show the scorecard of other presidents, of other candidates, and then we now put them side by side Mr President, and none of them come close to matching Mr President, even in terms of building institutions,” he said.
Speaking on roads, Yilwatda said Nigerians cannot point to any road built with the N300 billion budget released for roads when Obasanjo was president and Atiku served in his government.
“We were here live. When the president gave road projects of over N300 billion, when another person was the Minister of Works, we couldn’t find even the road that was patched with that budget. We are struggling to find the roads.
“Show me one road, a span of 500 kilometres, that was constructed with that money, just one. You can’t find it, but I can pinpoint many roads across the country that were constructed just in three years,” he stated.
