The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State , Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq , on Friday said there was no basis to compare President Muhammadu Buhari with a former Vice President , Abubakar Atiku .He was responding to the comment by the presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria , Dr. Oby Ezekwesili .

Ezekwesili had described the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party as a single party fielding one candidate she termed “ Butiku . ”

She had urged Nigerians to reject the two parties ’ candidates , no matter their branding , while alleging that Buhari’ s government was corrupt .

But Abdulrazaq said Buhari had made giant strides in repositioning the country and improving the lot of the people .

Speaking to journalists in Ilorin , the Kwara State capital, he claimed that those who constituted a setback for Buhari’ s “ lofty change agenda ” had left APC .

Abdulrazaq said , “ There is no comparison ( between Buhari and Atiku ) . A clear message was sent when the President went to Kaduna on Tuesday . The reception was overwhelming . ”
