More than from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 Election and ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that Nigeria suffered in 2020 from a “lazy and uninspiring leadership” provided by President Muhammadu Buhari
Atiku stated this in his New Year message to the nation.
The Atiku message reads in part:
“It is with a glad heart that I welcome everyone to the New Year, 2021.
“The out-gone year was quite dramatic and it is only by the grace of the Almighty God that we survived to witness the succeeding year.
“It is cheering that we are entering the New Year with refreshing news of a handful of certified vaccines against the dreaded COVID-19 virus. And better still is news of commencement of vaccination in some parts of the world.
“I am expectant that the vaccine(s) would soon be available for vaccination in Nigeria. It is also hoped that very soon life would return to normal.
“As a country, we have taken our share of the blow that COVID-19 dealt to the globe. And worst still, we suffered a multi-facet downcast on account of lazy and uninspiring leadership from the government at the centre – most especially.
“But just as I often do, I pray that God should heal the hearts of families who have lost loved ones to the disease, as well as those who died on account of insecurity and ringing poverty occasioned by poor management of our national economy.”
