PDP convention: Nigeria has never had it this bad ― Fintiri

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State

As the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national convention kicked off in Abuja, the chairman of its organizing committee and governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, has told teeming delegates that the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), has brought the country to a level that has never been seen before.

He said in his address at the event taking place at Eagle Square that the APC is hell-bent on bringing the country to recession on all fronts.

According to him, the performance of the ruling party has proved that Nigeria is far better with the PDP.

He said: “For Nigeria, the present APC-led-government is hell-bent on railroading the country into multifaceted recession in all fronts; from the economy to governance; national security to diplomacy; poverty to unemployment; anti-corruption to the observance of the rule of law; citizenship to national cohesion, etc.

“Indeed, the country has never had it this bad. That Nigeria is better by far with PDP in power is not in doubt.

“That the people relish on those golden moments when the PDP held sway at the center is not in doubt. That citizens are yearning for the return of PDP at the center as the 2023 elections draw nearer, is equally not in doubt. We, therefore, have a duty not to disappoint our teaming supporters. We have to take back our country as we have always done.

“We have to save Nigeria. If we could force the country out of the clutches of the military, we can do this one huge task – push the people who don’t know the true definition of good governance and national coexistence out of power. This is a Nigeria rescue mission. This is the role PDP was invented to play.

“The 2021 National Convention, presents a starting point for the Nigeria rescue mission. I commend the decision of all the organs of the party, especially the BoT and NEC for recognizing that the party has a beautiful chance to reinvent itself with this convention.
