The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party Atiku Abubakar has said the ruling All Progressives Congress will face a referendum in 2023.

“The APC can gloss over everything, but not its scorecard for the mandate Nigerians gave to the party. The 2023 elections will be a referendum on the failed policies of the administration,” Mr Abubakar said on Twitter late Tuesday.

Mr Abubakar’s comments come as the ruling party’s convention opens in Abuja, with Bola Tinubu receiving multiple endorsements from other aspirants.
