The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the most sellable presidential candidate to the people of Ijumu local government in Kogi state.
PDP said this is because of Atiku’s close affinity and friendship with many Ijumu sons and daughters, adding that no other presidential candidate enjoys such closeness their people.
This was contained in the communiqué issued at the end of Ijumu PDP presidential campaign council meeting in Iyara on Wednesday.
In the communiqué signed by Pastor Stanley Ajileye and Alhaji Tajudeen Oyekan, the head of media and secretary respectively, PDP lamented the high level of poverty, exacerbated by poor leadership foisted on our nation in the past eight years by the APC administration.
The party counseled that the current maladministration must end without further delay.
The meeting implored members of the party to approach the coming election with “great vigour and purpose-driven commitment, with a determination to unseat the evil administration of APC.”
“The failure of the APC led government and the slopes being witnessed in all facets and all segments of national embodiments, are eloquent and resounding testimonies in favour of PDP. This must gear up PDP faithful to give their eyes no sleep in the next two months, in order to see to it that the PDP breasts the tape at all levels, during the coming elections.
“The coming election is a struggle for the freedom of our nation, and as such, every action must be decisive, not allowing freedom to be slaughtered on the altar of pecuniary and financial inducement.
“For the people of Ijumu, PDP is the only party that can reset the polity and restore rotational arrangement, that the APC government in Kogi State has bastardized,” the communiqué read in part.
The campaign council urged members to place the interest of the party higher and above personal interests, calling on the leadership of the party at various levels to expedite actions at reconciliation of all warring factions within the party.
The meeting admonished all party faithfuls to cast block vote for PDP without being selective on candidates.
The meeting was attended by all members of the Council, its committee members, as well as all the ward Chairmen of the party across the Local Government.
