Former Federal Capital Territory minister, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide has been speaking on why the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the best to take up the mantle of leadership in Nigeria come 2023.
Atiku, according to Akinjide is needed at a time the ruling APC has brought the country, not down to the ground but under the water, with collapsed economy, no productivity and high degree on insecurity and banditry all over the place.
Speaking on a Fresh FM radio programme, “Political Circuit” in Ibadan, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide said people should not be talking of ethnic and primordial sentiment this time but discuss issues that will bail out the country from the present quagmire.
Jumoke Akinjide who is the Deputy Director General (Women Affairs) for Atiku Presidential Campaign noted that some people are using Lagos State the yardstick for the performance of Sen. Tinubu in government, she rolled out statistics that internationally, Lagos was ranked the second least habitable city in the world.
Lagos has been struggling on rail and infrastructures despite being the fifth largest economy in Africa, living in Lagos is horrific and terrible.

“And that’s why those who left the PDP to form APC with them left in anger when they discovered that Buhari government is horror show.”
