The Atiku/Obi Campaign determined to make good use of the remaining days for campaign was busy on Wednesday crisscrossing the state, convincing voters on the need to vote for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
The vice presidential candidate of the PDP, Peter Obi, who walked around markets on foot with his followers, visiting the major markets in those cities as well as passing through streets, appealed to voters to be part of the new “dawn sweeping across the country like harmattan fire, the dawn of Atiku presidency”.
Obi regretted the near absence of the Federal Government in towns visited and told the people that like other major cities in Nigeria, that they would be taken care of by Abubakar’s Presidency.
In Nnewi, Obi said: “I can tell you that during the study of the problems of different towns in Nigeria, which Atilku commissioned for over three years, it was discovered that the major problem of Nnewi is power and I can tell you that going by Atiku’s work plan that problem will be solved.”
Obi, who thanked people like Innoson, Cutix Cable and Chikason for remaining steadfast in industrialization despite harsh policies of the last three years, assured them of better deal under Abubakar.
He said that the revival of infrastructure of power would help to resuscitate many Nnewi moribund industries
In Obosi, Obi was hailed as he told traders at Ngbuka that the Federal Government under Abubakar would reduce tax and introduce other measures to encourage them.
