Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic party, has appealed to the electorate to vote for all the candidates of the party in the upcoming general election.
He made the call at the grand finale of his presidential campaign rally held in Yola, his ancestral home, on Saturday.
Abubakar noted that Nigeria, especially the North East, is underdeveloped, hence the need for them to vote for him to enable him bring rapid socioeconomic development to the area.
“We will provide dividends of democracy throughout the nation,” he promised.
Abubakar assured that if voted into power a lot of development would be recorded in all sectors of the economy.
He appreciated the party stakeholders and urged them to go down to the grassroot to sensitise and campaign to the electorate on the imperative of voting him into power.
The flagbearer also solicited the electorate in the state to give him the highest votes, considering the fact that he is their son.
Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council thanked all stakeholders for their support and cooperation, which he said made the occasion a huge success.
He said that Abubakar, who defeated 18 aspirants in the party’s primaries, is the right candidate to become the next president of Nigeria.
According to him, if elected, the former Vice President will reunify the country.
Tambuwal said: “The difference is clear that Atiku is the right president that can lead the country in a united manner.
“So come out enmasse on February 25 to vote for Atiku and other candidates of the party.”
Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State, the Chairman of the PDP PCC, urged Nigerians to not to miss the opportunity of voting Abubakar as the next president of Nigeria.
Emmanuel said the campaign train had traversed the 36 states of Nigeria and if the party was voted into power, it would restructure the country and create employment opportunities, provide quality education, healthcare service delivery and security, among others.
