Nigeria is sick because it has a sick leadership – PDP presidential aspirant

A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Attahiru Bafarawa has said Nigeria is sick because of its sick leadership.

Bafarawa, a two-term governor of Sokoto State, described President Muhammadu Buhari’s government as a disaster, vowing that the opposition will chase him out in 2019.

The PDP presidential hopeful stated this on Wednesday in Abeokuta while speaking with reporters.

Bafarawa said: “We don’t have a nation under the leadership of APC government. That is why we, in PDP, have to put our house in order and ensure that we get rid of the APC government in this country because it is a disaster to the country. This country is sick because the leadership is sick.

“We cannot allow this to continue. Forget about the number of aspirants, we are all members of one family. Whoever gets the party ticket, we will all work together and make sure we succeed in 2019.”

“In trying to do damage control, we are not going to witch-hunt anybody because when you are building a nation.

“As a leader, you are not expected to look at the back; you have to face the problem. Nobody can do it alone. It requires our collective resolve as a people and as a nation to put the country in good place.”

“I also want you to know that my presidential ambition is not a do or die affair.”
