Dr (Mrs) Jennifer Douglas-Abubakar, wife of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alh. Atiku Abubakar has called on the people of Rivers state to vote out the incumbent administration. Adding that they should not just vote, but protect their votes.
She made the call on Monday, in Port-Harcourt during PDP’s nationwide campaign tour ahead of Saturday’s Presidential election.
“Great
people of Rivers state, thank you for your immense support and for
standing by your governor. I am rest assured that Rivers state will
deliver their votes for PDP at the forthcoming presidential elections.
“We
don’t have to beg for your votes, I know Rivers state is hundred
percent PDP. Come out and vote en mass, bring your children, your
husband and all your households, don’t just vote stay and protect your
votes. Don’t let them take away your vote. Women come out en mass let
us send them parking”.
Mrs Abubakar appreciated the people of Rivers state for their support for their governor and love for Atiku.
Meanwhile,
Alhaji Abubakar Atiku has assured that the PDP would not make vain
promises as the APC did in 2015 to deceive the people. He said his
government will provide jobs, revamp the economy, tackle insecurity and
will be gender sensitive.
On his part PDP’s National Chairman,
Prince Uche Secondus while speaking at the rally said, “Kano has fallen,
Kano is now 100 percent PDP.”
Secondus said the myth and belief that
Kano was the stronghold of Buhari has been shattered with the huge
crowd at the Kano stadium.
The PDP National Chairman further assured
that, the current analogue government must be voted out to a more
efficient digital government.
“This analogue government must be
changed to a digital one. APC is going, and PDP in taking over. “Buhari
is insensitive of the security challenges in the country. He is not
aware that the Kano governor is deeply engrossed in corruption”, he
said.
The senate President who doubles as PDP campaign Director
General, Bukola Saraki, called on Rivers people to come out en mass and
deliver the vote that will take Atiku to Aso Rock. He avered that Atiku
will remove poverty from the land, revamp the economy and create jobs
for the youths. He called on them to ensure they don’t just vote but
defend their votes as well.
On his part the governor of Rivers
state, Nyesom Wike described APC as darkness and PDP as light, adding
that APC is known for dictatorship but PDP will guarantee everyone’s
freedom.
Meanwhile fifty-eight governorship candidates from
various parties said they are adopting Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike as
their candidates. According to them the alliance is as a result of
their good works. They described Wike as ‘Mr Excellent project’
stressing that their withdrawal from the race is to ensure that the
elections in Rivers state is peaceful.
