“The emergence of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar with Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate is a golden opportunity for the party to reclaim power which was taken from it in 2015 through sleight of hand, manipulation, subterfuge, and propaganda.
His statement reads: “This is a time for all members of the PDP and indeed all Nigerians to remain focused in their quest to replace a poverty-inducing and inept government.
“No member of the party should allow fake promises from the ruling party to make them waver in their support for the PDP,” he said.
“This is the time to work and be committed to returning the PDP back to power at the centre and to continue its developmental stride, banish poverty, pay living wages, promote health care, electricity, ensure gainful employment opportunity for our teeming youths, make the life more abundant and secure the live and property of Nigerians.”
