From Ahmad Muhammad, Bauchi
The embattled Acting National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Umar Iliya Damagum, has explained that Nigerians who ‘collected wrappers and spaghetti during the 2023 Presidential election feels the hit of economic hardship more than anybody.
Damagum gave the explanation when he answered questions from journalists on Friday during a visit to Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi State, as part of efforts to address the problems currently bedeviling the PDP.
Damagum said that the majority of Nigerians continue to experience hardship owing to the policies of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said: “The APC was never prepared for governance so how do you expect any good to come out from them?
“Those that collected spaghetti and wrappers to bring in this government are feeling it more than anybody else and this should be a lesson for all of us that we should look for credibility , those who are actually proven and tested, those who are ready to govern us, not ‘it’s my time’ like they have always said.
He said Nigerians are learning the bitter lesson of collecting wrappers and spaghetti to vote unprepared and incompetent leaders to office.
