The campaign for the presidential
ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party of former Vice President of Nigeria,
Atiku Abubakar got a boost yesterday when stakeholders of the party in Ondo
State gave an open declaration to support Atiku in the forthcoming primaries of
the PDP.
The
state party chairman, Mr. Clement Faboyede, who welcomed Atiku and his
delegation led by Director General of Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization,
Otunba Gbenga Daniel to the party secretariat, said that all the delegates from
Ondo State gathered at the event have resolved to support Atiku in his bid to
fly the flag of the PDP the next year’s presidential election.
“Other
aspirants have been coming here and none of them has received this kind of
reception accorded to you. It is a confirmation that Ondo State is totally for
Atiku,” Faboyede said.
Atiku,
in his remarks, said that words alone cannot convey his appreciation for the
love and support he and his delegation received from members and leaders of PDP
in Ondo State.
Leaders
of the party including Chief Olu Agbi, former governorship candidate, Eyitayo
Jegede (SAN) and several others took turn to eulogize Atiku for his firm stance
as a true progressive, a democrat and a crusader of restructuring.
Before
the meeting with PDP delegates, Atiku and his delegation had earlier paid a
courtesy visit to the leader of Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasanranti at his Akure
residence.
Atiku
told the gathering of Afenifere elders including Chief Olu Falae and Basorun
Sehinde Arogbofa that he was on a ‘courtesy and solidarity visit.’
“You
(referring to Atiku) believe in restructuring which is a core objective of
Afenifere and so you are most welcome to this gathering”, Chief Fasanranti said
in his welcome remarks.
Chief
Falae remarked that he believes Atiku has everything it takes to be a good
president of Nigeria.
