Former Vice President and presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said the inability of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration to accord every zone of the country a sense of belonging, was responsible for the deep division the country is experiencing.
Addressing PDP delegates ahead of the forthcoming presidential primaries in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Atiku said the country was not this disunited even during the civil war era, adding that Buhari’s action further fueled deep seated animosities across regional lines.
“We have never witnessed the kind of disunity we have today in this country, even during the civil war; and why do we have disunity? It is because the APC government has not been fair to all parts of this country,” he said.
He promised to remedy the situation if given the opportunity as the country’s leader in 2023.
“We have done it before in 1999 when we came on board and we can do it again,” adding, “If you vote for me, I promise I will not fail you and I will not fail Nigeria.”
