Former Vice President of Nigeria and a frontline leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has called on members of the PDP in Ondo State to mobilize overwhelming support for the victory of the party in the governorship election coming up on Saturday.
The former Vice President, in a press statement signed by his media adviser, Paul Ibe on Tuesday, noted that the PDP flag bearer in the election, Hon. Agboola Ajayi is a consummate politician who has what it takes to not only galvanize the party to victory in the election but also improve the lot of the people of the Sunshine State.
“The governorship election that is coming up in Ondo State this Saturday presents an opportunity for the people of Ondo State to elevate the condition of the state into increased prosperity.
“The APC, as it has been made clear to everyone, is a grossly unpopular party which does not have the interest of the people as a core objective.
“The people of Ondo State have an opportunity in Hon. Ajayi of the PDP to tell the APC that enough is enough.
“As leaders of the party, we shall provide all necessary support to ensure that the APC is not allowed to repress the wishes of the electorate in this election.
“This is also a sound warning to all election management officials and volunteers that the PDP will stand firmly against any malpractice in the Ondo governorship election,” Atiku added.
The former Vice President, however, calls on the people of the Sunshine State to come out in large numbers to cast their ballot and also make sure that their ballots count.
“When the tide is high, it becomes too big to rig. The people of Ondo State are known for their forthrightness, and this particular election calls for eternal vigilance,” Atiku noted.
