The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is more corrupt than the PDP, as of the time it was in charge of the country.
He revealed this in an interview with Voice of America, part of which he shared on his Twitter handle on Sunday.
When told that people also accused the PDP of corruption at the time it was ruling, Atiku responded, “But we have come to realise that the APC is even more corrupt than PDP.”
Asked how he will convince voters to support PDP again, he said, “Well, I will remind them of the prosperity that the PDP brought to the country between 1999-2007 and then also the poverty, the insecurity, the instability that the APC has brought to the country since they came into office.”
REPORTERS AT LARGE earlier reported that Atiku Abubakar has assured Nigerians that there would be no room for any cabal in his government if he is elected president.
The former vice president, who made the commitment during an interview on the Hausa Service of the Voice of America (VOA) in Washington D.C., United States, promised to be fully in charge of his administration, rather than allowing any clique to hijack the machinery of government.
