The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar says the recent collapse of the national grid is a metaphor for the failure of the incumbent administration.
He stated this in a statement he personally signed on Monday evening.
The Herald can report that the national grid recorded its fifth collapse in 2022 on Sunday.
Major cities across the country, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), were through into darkness as a result.
Reacting, the former vice president said it was time for Nigerians to “collapse” the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to make way for the PDP.
Atiku said, “The darkness that has enveloped the nation in the last couple of days with the collapse of the national grid is a metaphor for the collapsing state of our nation: collapsing unity, collapsing security, collapsing economy, collapsing education, collapsing well-being and collapsing value of human life and dignity.

“My expectation is that Nigerians will collapse the ruling APC in kind via the ballot and enthrone a viable pathway for the New Nigeria of our dreams that will be united and stable, prosperous and awash with opportunities; secured and inclusive. As One, we can get it done.”
