After speaking with important parties in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara State, the council's national director-general, Ambassador Seyi Bamigbade, issued a press release in Lagos. He pointed out that despite having led the nation during the oil boom, the previous president only had the careless theft of the country's money to show for it.
By running for office to lead the people they had impoverished, the PDP, he claimed, had insulted the intelligence of Nigerian voters. He urged voters to keep in mind that the PDP is the party that did nothing to better the lives of Nigerians despite having access to a lot of resources and power.
"Nigerians realise the PDP's connection to corruption, which prevented them from performing for 16 years. We still remember how they pillaged our nation and gorged themselves on our shared wealth, for which some people still have the answers today.
"Nigerians would still reject them in 2023 as they did in 2015, 2019 and beyond. They don't have anything new to give the nation. They ought to be pleading for mercy rather than insulting our sensibility by asking for our mandate once more, he said.
