The
United Nigeria Group (TUNG), has dismissed as puerile rubbish and detachment
from reality the allegation that the former Vice President “is too desperate
for power”.
A
so-called pro-democracy group that calls itself “Make A Difference (MAD)”, had
described Atiku Abubakar as “a man too desperate for power”, with the Executive
Director of the group, Lemmy Ughegbe, questioning Atiku’s integrity for leaving
the APC to join the PDP.
Responding
to these allegations, The United Nigeria Group (TUNG) said the allegations by
MAD are trashy and devoid of substance for serious political debate.
The
spokesman of TUNG, Dr. Emenena Bright, said he was amused by the sheer
childishness of the issues raised by MAD against the former Vice President saying
that contrary to the claims by the so-called pro-democracy group, Atiku is not
desperate but passionate to fix Nigeria and get the country working again.
Dr.
Bright explained that the state of the economy is central to the success of any
democratic system.
He
said an economy in which companies are dying and jobs are being lost massively
while poverty is worsening daily is bound to create despair among the voters,
which was why as a man who believes in excellence, Atiku chose to leave APC to
seek an alternative platform to fix Nigeria and get it working again.
Furthermore,
Dr. Bright noted that a situation where 6 million jobs were lost in two
years, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, is a betrayal of the
voters who had looked forward to a better life, adding that nobody would
willfully vote themselves into hardship attended by weakening purchasing power
and despair.
The
TUNG Spokesman said APC has betrayed the voters by abandoning its campaign
promises and rewarding them with greater poverty and crushing inflation, as the
party has run out of ideas and, as a result, the economy is abandoned to its
fate.
Bright
said Atiku Abubakar is seriously worried that Nigerians are ever more divided
than we had ever been since the Civil War, which poses a threat to our
nationhood, urging the APC and its MAD collaborators to find something useful
to do with their lives rather than bothering themselves daily about Atiku who
is no longer a member of their party.
