2019 elections: How Atiku will defeat Buhari – Ex-Minister
Monday accused President Mahammadu Buhari of underperforming, saying
that Atiku Abubaka will floor him (Buhari) in the forthcoming 2019
general elections.
Nwankwo made this known while speaking with journalists in Abakaliki,
also challenging President Buhari to account for the trillions of
Naria meant for capital projects, which he failed to carry out,
especially in Ebonyi State.
"I have no doubt in my mind. What we should be talking about is
percentage win now and not if we are going to win. And at the same
time, we will try to make Ebonyi a place where the presidential
candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubaka will get the highest percentage votes
in the federation.
"They should tell us what their party (APC) that controls the federal
government has done to this state in the past three and half years
because Ebonyi is part of Nigeria. If they have gotten so much
trillions for a year for capital project's, let's divide that by 36,
let them tell us where our own share has gone to.
Speaking on rigging of the 2019 polls, he said, "We have grown past
federal might and we won't succumb to that psychological warfare.
Democracy in this country has grown past such stage where you can
muzzle opposition. We outnumber them everywhere, so who is going to do
that?
"We have professional security in Nigeria. Forget that these things
happened sometime in the past, but it cannot happen in 2019 because we
must make sure the power of the voters card is achieved. No policemen
is going to write result for you; no soldier is going to write result
for you.
"You cannot manipulate the card reader and we have what it takes to
protect our votes by our knowledge of what election is all about. We
cannot continue to have fragile democracy. No, we are mature. So
whoever thinks they are coming to use the so called federal might
should perish the thought.
"The power of the voters might is greater than any other might.
Federal or whatever you call it."
