PDP: Uyo Rally Shows Buhari Has Lost All Political Footholds

The
Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) says
the unprecedented crowd that received its Presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar, at the State Presidential rally in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom state on
Monday, is a direct statement to President Muhammadu Buhari that he has
come to the end of the road.

The PPCO recalls that the energetic
crowd at the rally made mockery of the scanty attendance at President
Buhari’s much hyped Presidential Flag-off rally at the same venue on
December 28 last year, and further confirmed to Mr. President that he no
longer commands the followership of Nigerians.

The fact that
Atiku Abubakar’s state rallies had always had much more crowd than
President Buhari’s campaign flag-off in Uyo, which has the attendance of
his supporters from all the states of the federation, further confirms
that Nigerians have decided on Atiku Abubakar as the next President of
our country.

The deafening cheers, enthusiasm and passion with
which the people received Atiku Abubakar in Uyo as against the cold
response and sneers that greeted Mr. President at his campaign flag-off,
also serves as an eye opener to him that he is only being deceived into
thinking that he has any form of support in the Niger Delta region.

The
PPCO further recalls the pitiable sight where President Buhari could
only slur and failed to articulate any clear message as his rented
crowd, which refused to carry APC brooms, abandoned him and started
leaving the venue while he was still making his speech.

From the
rousing reception being accorded to Atiku Abubakar in all our rallies in
the various geo-political zones and states he has so far visited, it is
clear that Nigerians, irrespective of states, ethnicity, sectional and
political affiliations have attained a consensus on Atiku Abubakar as
our next President.

The PPCO therefore counsels President Buhari
and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to note the tide and end their
desperate shenanigans including the assault on the opposition and our
democratic institutions, as such will never change the determination by
Nigerians to vote them out of office come, February 16, 2019.
