The All Progressive Congress has reacted to the performance and promises of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, during a town hall meeting programme tagged The Candidates.
The ruling party, addressing journalists through its national publicity secretary, Lanre Isa-Onilu, on Thursday, January 31, said there is no way PPD can ride its way into hearts of Nigerians again because the country can afford to return to Egypt, Daily Trust reports.
It would be recalled that during the town hall event hosted by BBC journalist Ahmed Kadaria, Atiku and his vice presidential candidate, Peter Obi, broadly spoke on the state of economy, the lingering security challenges bedeviling the country, promising to wheel in positive changes if elected.
