BREAKING: Abia PDP governorship candidate, Ikonne is dead

At the rally held at Mapo hall Ibadan, were the party’s National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus; Senate President Bukola Saraki; PDP governorship candidate in Oyo State, Seyi Makinde; Senators Ben Murray Bruce, Dino Melaye, Buruji Kashamu, Ademola Adeleke, Hosea Agboola, and Ayo Adeseun.

Other chieftains of the party in attendance include immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose; Chief Bisi Ilaka, Barr Hazeem Gbolarunmi, Jimi Agbaje, Hon Mulikat Adeola-Akande and Dr Saka Balogun.

While addressing the crowd of supporters who came from the six states in Southwest Nigeria, Atiku pledged to restructure the country, pay attention to education and revive the economy.

His words: “My fellow brothers and sister from the Southwest, in the next two months, you will be required to make history in this country. Since the return of democracy in 1999, the best prosperity we have enjoyed in this country was under the PDP. The best peace we have enjoyed in this country was under the PDP, the best educational advancement that this part of this country enjoyed was under the PDP. Then, in 2015, some liars deceived you people, came here to deceive us and we believed them, we gave them the opportunity.

“They said they were going to create jobs. Instead of creating jobs, we have lost 12 million jobs since they came to power. They said they were going to create prosperity, since they came we have gotten poorer to the extent that today we have surpassed many countries in the world in poverty and now we are the headquarters of poverty in the world. Is that the type of government you want to continue with?

“My brothers and sisters, I stand before you here today to promise you that we shall return your prosperity and the prosperity of this country. Everybody knows that I chaired the best economic team in this country that produced those reserves. If you give me the opportunity again, I will assemble the best economic team so that we can return prosperity to our country.

“I also have come to you that this was has been knowing for its educational strides since before independence, we shall continue to invest in education to make sure that this zone excels.

“Let me tell you, one of the most important policies I have advocated in this country is the restructuring of this country. Today, I stand before you to pledge before you that within six months, we shall start the process of restructuring.”

Senate President Bukola Saraki, who spoke in both English and Yoruba, said the Buhari administration has failed to provide security and address hunger. He said Atiku is the man that can fix the economy and bring back the prosperity of Nigerians.

Atiku’s running mate, Peter Obi, also chorused previous speakers assertion that Atiku has the ability to create jobs, handle the economy and improve security of lives and property.

In his own speech, the immediate past Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose said PDP has already won the election, stressing that Nigerians only needed to protect their votes.

Others that spoke at the rally are former Ogun State Governor Gbenga Daniel and Alh. Shuaib Oyedokun.

In his speech, Secondus accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) government led by President Muhammadu Buhari of having gone to raise money through the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to fund its election.

“At this juncture, we know that the APC government has gone to the Nigerian Ports Authourity (NPA) to raise money for election,” he said. “We warn all the parastatals to be careful because this is a lame dock government. We warn all the government agencies and parastatals that as they are taking the money, somebody is watching and snapping you and as you are going to steal the money for APC campaign it is time for you to know that APC cannot continue to steal and yet the armed robbers will be calling other people thieves. Enough is enough.”

Secondus said Atiku has been tried and tested, particularly in the area of handling economic matters. He said his administration would end hunger and insecurity.
