On Monday, 20 February at the Niccon Luxury Hotel in Abuja, the leadership of the Coalition of Buhari/APC Support Groups held an event where they publicly declared their support for the candidacy of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar Atiku with the reason that the government of Muhammadu Buhari and APC has failed the nation.

“We are here today to replicate, in the southwest region, what happened in Abuja on Monday 20 February. We are here today to tell the world that we are no longer with the APC again. We are here to show to the world that the Coalition of APC Support Groups, an umbrella body of all recognized and certificated support groups of the APC, has renounced its allegiance and shift support for the actualization of Atiku/Okowa Presidency 2023 project,” said Comrade Yahaya Majeed, the Chairman APC National Youth Assembly, National Vice Chairman (Southwest), Coalition of APC Support Groups and now Publicity Secretary, Coalition of Support Groups for Atiku/Okowa Presidency 2023.
“You will agree with me that Nigerians have endured enough in the last eight years with the poor governance of Buhari’s administration and APC, and it is high time we must collectively stop the mess created by Buhari, his government and the APC.
“We must therefore rise up to say enough is enough to the APC-led government for the betterment of our children unborn and for posterity to judge us right.
“We must collectively reject the wickedness call APC and make our voice loud through the ballots that Atiku/Okowa of the PDP is the answer we need to salvage the ruins caused by Buhari’s government,” Comrade Yahaya said.
The accountant turned politician warned Nigerians not to make mistake of voting for APC on Saturday as it would bring bad fortune for the country.
