In a post on his X Page on Wednesday, Abubakar said voting for the APC would amount to an endorsement “of misery, hunger, and despair”.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election said the “APC has plunged Nigeria into an abyss of suffering and has sown seeds of poverty, despair, and insecurity”.
He implored voters to ask themselves if the APC has made life better or deepened their struggles — before casting their ballots.
Abubakar said Asue Ighodalo, governorship candidate of the PDP in Edo, “offers a path to redemption from APC’s failures”, adding that “APC has forsaken the ideals of governance, ignoring the cries of the common man”.

“As the good citizens of Edo State prepare to make their voices heard this Saturday, the 21st of September, 2024, let us reflect on the immense power within our grasp,” he said.
“The power to break free from the chains of bad governance, the power to chart a new course for our beloved state. That power lies in your vote, a precious tool for change.
“The APC has donned the mask of a friend to the masses, but behind this veil lies a sinister reality. They have lured gullible voters with sweet promises, only to reveal their true nature — a party driven by a hunger for power rather than the well-being of the people.
“They have forsaken the ideals of governance, ignoring the cries of the common man while pursuing their own selfish ambitions. Under their watch, Nigeria has been plunged into an abyss of suffering.
“They have sown seeds of poverty, despair, and insecurity. The once vibrant spirit of our nation has been dimmed by a relentless struggle for survival, where even the simplest of needs, like food, have become out of reach for millions.
“In this grim reality, our people are not dying of disease but of hunger. We stand at the lowest point in our nation’s governance. The APC has not served the people; they have served themselves.
“And when the people, rightfully aggrieved, have raised their voices in protest, they have been silenced, dragged to courts under charges of treason. Meanwhile, the APC’s leaders bask in luxury, indifferent to the hardship that grips the nation.”
Abubakar said Ighodalo is ready to serve with competence if elected.
This also trended:
“But there is hope. In this dark landscape, Dr. Asue Ighodalo shines as a beacon of integrity and vision. Where the APC has faltered, Ighodalo stands firm, ready to serve with competence and a genuine commitment to the people’s welfare,” he added.
