Presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has accused his opponent
in the 2019 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, of planning a
return to power to allegedly create a paradise for thieves who’ll
loot the country blind.
While addressing the public at a summit, “African Leadership In The
Millenium”, a part of Felabration 2018, in Lagos State on Monday,
October 15, 2018, Sowore said a victory for Atiku, a former vice
president, or incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari, will further
stall the nation’s progress.

He said, “The last government is always better than the next. In
fact, if you ask me which is the worst government, it hasn’t come
yet.

“It’s coming next year if we vote Buhari or Atiku. It’ll be the
worst government we’ll have because both of them have unfinished
business with Nigeria.

“Atiku was not happy that he didn’t steal enough when he was
with Obasanjo. Maybe he didn’t get enough licenses for his
universities, or maybe he didn’t get enough oil blocs for himself
or probably didn’t marry enough wives.

“So, when they return, they’re coming with vengeance; vengeance
on our resources and our people.

“Atiku is coming back to create a paradise for thieves and you
can see the people who are excited about them.

“They’re either people who stole, who didn’t steal enough last
time, or people who are aspiring to become thieves, including
Donald Duke.

“Same thing with Buhari. If Buhari returns next year, he’ll take
away all forms of pretense about human rights, about his support
for Islamic extremism, about his respect for your farms. He’ll take
it all because at that time, he’ll have nothing at stake.”

We need revolution in 2019 – Sowore
Sowore also said Nigerians cannot hope to simply have power
voluntarily transferred from one generation to another and must
fight for it through a deliberate revolution.

He pointed out that the system is rigged to keep the old
establishment in power and that Nigerians must resist it so as to
actualise the country of their dreams and not the one of their
ineffective leaders.

He said, “The solution is a revolution. We’re not going anywhere
without adding the revolutionary fervour to this coming
election.

“Anyone who’s still under the illusion that these old baggers,
as we call them, will hand over power voluntarily to us, we’re
deceiving ourselves.

“Anyone under the illusion that the plastic cards that we refer
to as permanent voter’s card (PVC) will guarantee you a transfers
of power from one generation to another, you’re wasting your
time.

“Of course a few of you might vote, but your votes will not
count because it’s been designed to fail from the beginning.”

The 2019 presidential election, scheduled for February 16, 2019,
is expected to be keenly-contested between Buhari of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku of the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) who served as vice president between 1999 and 2007 and
lost in the 2007 presidential election.
