The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has assured Nigerians that if voted
in the forthcoming general elections, insecurity and hunger among other
challenges would be adequately tackled.
Atiku, who stated this during his presidential campaign
rally in Minna, Niger State, said in 2015, Nigerians voted the All Progressives
Congress, APC, against the PDP in their desire for change.
He argued, however, that today, instead of bringing about
their desired change, the APC only succeeded in plunging the nation into a
myriad of problems such as insecurity, hunger, and infrastructural decay among
others.
Atiku said, “you said you wanted change in 2015, and you
voted the APC, but, today, the party has brought insecurity, hunger and much
suffering. This is the time to change the change for things to change by voting
the PDP in the general elections at both national and state levels.”
He also told the mammoth crowd that the Atiku/Okowa ticket,
if elected, would complete the Baro Port project for the good and progress of
the state.
The PDP presidential candidate further said, “we would
ensure unity and safety in most of your education system, hospitals and roads
will be restructured.”
The vice presidential candidate, and Governor of Delta
State, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa, in his remarks urged people of Niger to campaign for
the party at the state and the grassroots from village to village to ensure it
wins at both state and national levels.
Earlier, the Director General, Campaign Atiku/Okowa
Organization, and Governor of Sokoto State, Alh. Aminu Tambuwal, had accused
the Muhammadu Buhari-led government of deceiving the people of Niger by
commissioning the Baro Port project which is currently not functioning while
urging people of the state to elect their leaders wisely and not to be deceived
again in the elections.
Speaking, former Niger State Governor and Chairman Presidential
Campaign Committee in the state, Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu, appealed to the
people to vote for the party to ensure it succeeds in the elections.
According to him, “I have brought a candidate that has
experience and will help Niger state. Let us correct our mistakes which we
mistakenly made. If, you trust me, vote Atiku as president and Kantigi as
governor in the elections”.
Similarly, the state party chairman, Bar. Tanko Beji, in his
welcome address, pledged the commitment of the party to ensure the PDP emerges
victorious at all levels.
