ABUJA- Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the PDP Governance Grassroot Group PG3, a pressure group working to ensure victory for the party at the polls, has urged Nigerians to reject the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in the interest of the nation.

PG3 in a new year message to Nigerians, said another four years of APC in power portend a bleak future for the country and her citizens.

PG3 spokesman, Amechi Ekpeneru, in the message described the last three and a half years as painful for vast majority of Nigerians.

The statement read: “Nigerians voted for what they felt was a change, but we have witnessed a negative change. Suffering of unimaginable magnitude has taken over the land. Even the ruling party has confessed that the situation is out of their hands.

“Is it that the ruling party did not prepare for governance? Or the economic policies are deliberate to impoverish Nigerians? We ask this because APC leaders are happy to see Nigerians celebrate the ten thousand naira being distributed a few days to the elections in the guise of empowerment.”

The group described the Obasanjo/Atiku administration (1999-2007) as the best so far since the return to democracy, given its “sound economic policies and long term plans.”

While enjoining Nigerians to reject the ruling party across all tiers of governments in the forthcoming elections, the group added that the APC “have shown gross incompetence and inability to proffer solution to the problems of the country. Rather their coming to power has opened up more areas of division.”

It noted that “the election of Atiku Abubakar as President will return Nigeria to the path of economic recovery which the PDP started in 1999. We advise that another four years of APC will be too much for our citizens to bear.”
