The All Progressives Congress, APC, has advised Nigerians on the right candidate to cast their votes for in 2019.

The ruling party said Nigerians must go for the candidate that could pass the integrity and anti-corruption test.

The APC said this in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, on Thursday, in Abuja.

It claimed that the main opposition Peoples Democratic party, PDP, cannot pass corruption and integrity test for its candidates.
Nabena said, “The PDP cannot be simplistic and attempt to wish away the issue of the integrity of candidates seeking elections into positions at all levels, particularly as 2019 approaches.
“We reiterate our position that the Nigerian electorate must have that opportunity to choose from candidates that can pass the integrity and anti-corruption test.

“The character of office holders we elect into public offices is important as our very progress and development as a country depends on it”.
The party further stated that when the choice was to be made, the electorate had the option of a proven and decent presidential candidate in the person of President Muhammadu Buhari who was putting the people first.
He said that on the other hand, there was a “racketeer” who would readily mortgage the country’s commonwealth to personal coffers and cronies.
