The Chairman of Bukola Saraki for President Advocacy Team, Professor. Iyorwuese Hagher, has explained that Nigeria doesn’t want nepotistic president in 2023.

Hagher, who addressed the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi today, said APC had not fulfilled its promises to Nigerians since it came into power in 2015.
He said: “For seven years now, the APC has been playing the blame game, blaming the PDP for its inability to deliver, failure to fulfil all the campaign promises to Nigerians. The party also denied that it promised to fix Nigeria within the first 100 days in office.
“In 2015 when the APC won the presidential election, they were not prepared for it. As soon as they won, they started to deny that they didn’t say this and that, the President did not promise to do 100 things in 100 days. In the end, they denied everything.
“For the past seven years, we have been living in a government of total deceit. APC has ruined Nigeria, nobody is happy today and the worst thing about the matter is that when the citizens are not happy and they want to complain, the APC government will turn around to blame them and make them the victims to become the ones to be blamed for everything.
“For seven years now down the line, they are still busy blaming the PDP and yet, they can never equal what the PDP has done in the country for the good of Nigerians.
“Today, Nigeria is in the doctrine of necessity, it is that doctrine of necessity moments that made Nigerians in 1999 state that they were ready to go anywhere to get a presidential candidate who was going to unite the country, that was why the PDP went to the prison and brought out President Olusegun Obasanjo.

He further explained that “We are here in Bauchi state to meet with our party, to address the national delegates who have worked very hard. You recall that Bauchi was an APC state since 2015 before people read the handwriting on the wall to understand that it had been a government of deceit and that is the reason, Bauchi State is now back to the PDP”.
The erudite Academic added that “We are here to tell the people that PDP should get ready to take over Nigeria in 2023. We are a highly organized political party, there is no other party that is so organized in this country than the PDP. Therefore, we want to tell our people to get ready to take over the leadership of the country in 2023. We do not want a repeat of what happened in 2019 when the APC won.”
He stressed that “It is that same doctrine of necessity the PDP pulled President Jonathan and handed over the reign of leadership to him after President Yar’adua died of sickness. Today, that doctrine of necessity has become very important because never ever has this country been this chaotic”
According to him, “Nigeria is in chaos, the PDP that is to take over cannot take over in confusion, the PDP is reading the mood of the nation and the mood of the nation is that Nigerians do not want a Southern or Northern President, Nigerians want a competent President, somebody who will unite us, somebody who will improve the economy, somebody who will protect us from being killed in our homes and we cannot sleep, somebody who will protect our universities, somebody who will give us fuel, diesel, gas, constant electricity supply. That is who Nigerians are looking for”.
