A message has been sent to Nigerians ahead of 2023 presidential election. The message was sent by Senate President Ahmad Lawan.
The message is this: Don't believe the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Why? The president of the Senate says the main opposition party had nothing to show for its 16 years in power, The Nation reports.
He said this after Gombe state governor, Inuwa Yahaya, said he would recruit 3,700 youthful personal assistants (PAs) across the 11 local government areas of the state.
Lawan said it was disheartening that the 16-year reign of the PDP was a waste. The Senate president regretted that the country’s wheel of progress was halted under the PDP.

He said:
“The PDP ruled the country for 16 years, deceiving Nigerians. The money they got during their reign was mind-blowing. But they did nothing to better the lives of Nigerians. As a matter of fact, the bulk of the money ended up in private pockets.
“The performance the APC-led administration in the last six years far outweighs what the PDP claimed to have done in the last 16 years.”
