The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has warned the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies against interfering
in the conduct of February 16 and March 2 general elections, as any attempt will
be strongly resisted.
The presidential candidate handed
down the warning at a PDP campaign rally held on Wednesday in Damaturu, the
Yobe State capital.
Abubakar, while addressing the
mammoth crowd of supporters, said, “People of Yobe State, three and the half
years, you have voted APC and I want to ask, what has APC done to you? APC has
promised to restore security, provide employment and revive the country’s
economy all have failed thereby subjecting you to object poverty, hunger and
insecurity among others.
“People of Yobe State, all
Nigerians have made a positive change; you should not be left behind. Don’t
make the mistake of re-electing APC again,” he warned.
He assured the electorate that,
if elected into power, his government will be exclusively for youth and women,
saying, electing him as president was a rare opportunity for people of
Northeast since he came from the region.
The former Vice President also warned
security agencies and the electoral umpire against interfering in the conduct
of the general elections
On his part, the PDP National
Chairman, Unche Secondus, said the wind of change blowing across the nation has
arrived in Yobe State.
“By the mandate of ordinary
people, I believe and convince on behalf of the leadership of the party that
your votes will count on the February 16th and March 2nd. Therefore, come out
in your numbers to vote and depend it,” he urged.
The National chairman alleged that
INEC planned to use manual collation of results instead of e-collation in Borno
and Yobe States, claiming that will give room for results manipulation.
He assured the people of the
state that Atiku Abubakar will not let them down as he has all the experiences
to lead the nation to a greater height.
