Nigeria’s Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar says only the Governors elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are working.
Gatekeepers News reports that Nigeria’s Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that only states controlled by the Peoples Democratic Party are working based on the commissioning of projects in those states.
He added that the states controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) are simply sleeping as projects are not being commissioned there.
Atiku said this while commissioning a 4.2-kilometre road constructed by the Bauchi State government, North East Nigeria.
The Gombe to Maiduguri road by-pass was named: Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Road.
Atiku further called on the federal government to learn from the PDP states.
Atiku said, “Let me start by commending you because you have done very, very excellently well. For the few hours I have been in Bauchi today, I have been impressed by the infrastructural developments that I have personally seen and not been told.
“These programmes that you have implemented and continue to implement, are the bedrock of development be it educational, health care delivery or any other aspects of development. But, most importantly, these developmental projects have become instruments of economic empowerment.
“By economic empowerment, they have also created thousands of jobs for our teeming youths. Let me commend you for reducing the unemployment in the state and the country at large because it is this unemployment that creates security challenges that we are currently facing in this country.
“I wish the federal government will copy what the PDP governors and PDP states are doing in this country because, in every PDP state you go, you will find infrastructural development projects taking place.
“I cannot recall any APC states commissioning projects. Therefore, your Excellency, you are virtually laying the pathway to the return of PDP in this state and in the country at large. I want to commend your contributions in that regard.”
