The Gombe township stadium was filled to the brim with passionate
supporters as they welcomed the PDP presidential flag-bearer Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar, his running mate,Peter Obi, the National Chairman and
other members of the People’s Democratic Party. The highly joyous crowd
of supporters could not hide their excitement as the speakers made their
intentions to make Nigeria better. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who spoke in
the native Hausa was particular about the lies the APC has sold
Nigerians, the current sorry state of the country and his plans . In his
words, “don’t allow police and INEC to rig Nigerians.” He continued and
announced that “we are going to win,” to the jubilation of the
attendant crowd.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu
Dogara who was present at the rally said “Democracy always offers us the
opportunity to correct ourselves and four years os too long for a bad
leader…”
These statements come at a time that the region suffers a
lot of security challenges, with civilian deaths reaching their highest
thousands since 2015. The North-east region of Nigeria has become the
most terrorized region in Africa, with the Shehu of Borno recently
announcing that Boko Haram still holds territories in the Region.
Atiku’s plans are a beacon light of hope for the joyous crowd who are in
awe of the prospect of an Atiku presidency. For them, they are
convinced that just as Atiku creates more than 20,000 jobs for them in
his various private companies, there will be even better jobs for them
when Nigerians vote him into power.
