The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has said any Nigerian contemplating voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023 should undergo a mental evaluation.
Obaseki said this at the inauguration of the Edo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council in Benin City on Monday.
He noted that the nation would disintegrate should the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, clinch the presidency in 2023.
According to him, the APC government has destroyed the country by plunging it into monumental debt.
Obaseki lamented that the nation’s total debt stock was approaching N60 trillion, noting that this was an unacceptable reality.
“I believe that this will be an easy election for us if we campaign right because honestly, our heads should be examined as citizens of Nigeria if we contemplate voting for a government like APC.
“In fact like I said, God forbid APC comes into power, this country will break up. This country will fail. It has already failed because nobody has done the kind of damage the APC government has done to this country. I don’t know how we will recover. For us my heart is beating by the time Atiku gets in, we will not be able to sleep day and night.
“As I speak to you today, the debt of Nigeria is going to 60 trillion. When are we going to get out of it? Every day, every month they are printing. When I spoke more than a year ago, I did not know it was as bad as this.
“What they have done, what will happen to the naira, only God will help us. They have destroyed the bases of this country…
“They have threatened the existence of this country. And by the grace of God our candidate will win. We will bring back Nigeria, unify this country, we will reduce the differences we have.
“And we will begin to build our country to what God said it should be. This election is also very important for us in government, we cannot be in opposition again,” Obaseki said.
