According to the Atiku/Okowa campaign organization, the presence of Nigerians at the PDP’s presidential rally in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday in support of Atiku Abubakar, the party’s nominee for president, confirmed reconciliations and unity within the party in preparation for a resounding victory in Oyo, the South West, and across the other five geopolitical zones of the country.
In their joint effort to ensure the party’s victory at all levels of the upcoming general elections in February and March 2023, the Atiku/Okowa campaign noted, appreciated, and commended the unity, oneness of purpose, and consensus among the ranks of leaders, important stakeholders, and teeming party members with Governor Seyi Makinde.
The campaign, in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan said, “the unity and single-mindedness witnessed at the Oyo Rally, just like in other states of the federation, further confirms that the PDP remains one big, indissoluble and indivisible family driven by the patriotic mission to rescue and rebuild our nation with Atiku Abubakar on the saddle as President.
“The people of Oyo State, and, of course the South West, are independent-minded, insightful, egalitarian and politically astute with unparalleled nationalistic outlook that cannot be swayed by parochial and narrow-minded sentiments.
“The action of solidarity by our teeming members and supporters in Oyo State, like in other States, have sent very strong signal to the weak and scavenging political parties that the PDP remains firmly united in the South West and other parts of the country.”
The campaign once again, commended the people of Oyo State; professional groups, community leaders, faith-based groups, traditional institutions, youths and women groups, student bodies, transporters, artisans, traders and all other very important segments of the State for their unwavering support and resolve to vote Atiku Abubakar as the next President of Nigeria.
“Our Campaign urges the people of Oyo State and Nigerians across board to remain united and resolute as they come out enmasse to vote and take a firm stand, within the ambit of the law and democracy, by protecting their votes to the very end and elect Atiku Abubakar in the overall interest of our nation,” the campaign said.
