Sokoto State governor and Director General of PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal on Wednesday told voters in Ogun state that Atiku Abubakar is the only Presidential Candidate with capacity to deliver on his mandate.
Tambuwal argued that Atiku is the only candidate who has occupied executive office at the national level, deeply involved in the private sector management and has a clear master plan on how to execute his campaign promises.
Tambuwal made the case on Wednesday in Abuja when the party’s Presidential train landed in Abeokuta, Ogun state capital.
The former Speaker of House of Representative, said that Tambuwal has perfected plans to devolve more powers to the state, create jobs for the youths and women.
“Atiku is the only candidate that has identified restructuring and proffered ways and means through which he is going to restructure Nigeria. There will be more powers to the state, there will be more powers to local government, there will be more resources, there will be more devolution of powers and devolution of resources for the development of our country.
“When you elect Atiku Abubakar, you are sure that you have a CEO that will drive your interest and engender good governance in Nigeria. The others, I believe, you cannot trust them. They don’t have the type of experience that Atiku Abubakar is having, of governance at the federal level. He is the most prepared of the candidates”.
Addressing the crowd, PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar said that he will make the exploitation of the mineral deposit in the country, his top priority.
“We have promised to devolved more powers to Ogun state and to the local governments in Ogun. We have promised to ensure the industrialization of Ogun state because Ogun state is endowed with so many mineral resources and in order to create jobs and prosperity, the federal government under the PDP government will make sure that the exploitation of those mineral resources and industrialization of Ogun is made a priority.
“We want to appeal to you to come out and vote and make sure that your votes are counted and also protect your vote. The APC government has failed us and therefore, it is our responsibility to make sure that we don’t return them to power”.
The National Chairman of the Party, Sen. Iyrochia Ayu in his address said that the ruling party are already jittery and have resorted to denying PDP use of government facilities for campaigns.
Ayu boasted that despite all the denials, the ruling party will be crushed at the polls come February 25.
“We will crush them at the polling booth, we will crush them at the ward, we will crush them at the local government and we will crush them nationally. We must recover this country; we must rebuild Nigeria because we want a better living condition for our people.
“We know you are suffering, many of you can’t even eat in your houses, life is unbearable for you, you can’t even find fuel.
“I want to assure you that when Atiku Abubakar comes back to power, life will return better to those days that the PDP were able to create”.
Present at the campaign arena were Chairman of PDP Campaign Council, Gov. Udom Emmanuel and his Osun State counterpart Sen. Ademola Adeleke, BoT Chairman Sen. Adolphus Wabara, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Speaker of the House of Representative Yakubu Dogara and many party stalwarts.
