“Absolutely not, it doesn’t worry me, because the demography of the youth varies from region to region, and it is not in all regions of the country that the preponderance of the youth is moving towards Labour. Maybe in some few areas in the South or South-East.”
Asked if the PDP will go into alliance with others, he said if there are reasons to, the opposition party will.
APC more corrupt than PDP
According to Atiku, Nigerians have come to realise that the ruling All Progressives Congress is more corrupt than the PDP.
The PDP presidential candidate reminded Nigerians of the property the country enjoyed when it was governed by his party and the instability and insecurity they have been battling under the APC-led administration.
