“Don’t vote for Mr. Privatize Atiku Abubakar’s poverty development party candidate. When, as the Vice President of this country, he had the opportunity to make a positive difference, he chose the path of less.

“He chose to use his position to enrich himself, his family and friends. He sold Nigeria’s most valuable asset for a pittance. In the name of privatisation, he stole from your future to enrich himself.

“Worse, he has not learned anything. He has gone everywhere telling Nigerians that he will come back to finish the job. He has promised that this time he will not steal your prosperity.

“You should not trust him or his greedy friends. The nation does not need the return of the Privatizer-in-Chief. Reject him and his group of unscrupulous jesters. He has no serious plans for this country. He uses cheap and vile antics because it has no substance, there is no solution.

“Beware of the false messiah, Mr. Stingy, Peter Obi. This man made bold promises and boasted a lot. However, when he was given the responsibility of leading just one country, he was overwhelmed.

“They can only waste money that should be used to develop the country. All Anambra people can hope for is that whoever comes next will have better ideas.

“The governor is not a banker, he is expected to hold customer deposits. Obi is expected to build good roads, schools and hospitals. He should pay the salaries of doctors, teachers and civil servants in Anambra. He is meant to nurture and strengthen new leaders.

“In eight years, he has achieved nothing. He is not a visionary leader. He is a man who is proud to bury his talents because he does not know any better. This man who does not know the correct role of the governor cannot be trusted as the next president. Reject him,” he added.

He also explained what the administration would do in the agriculture, education and security sectors to provide a decent life to the people.
