The state coordinators of a group known as Atiku/Okowa Vanguard 2023 has said that the Peoples Democratic Party candidate in the 2023 election and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has what it will take to rescue Nigeria and turnaround the fortunes of its people.
This confidence, according to the representatives of the group, is based on Atiku Abubakar’s track record in business and public service.
Director General of the group, Hon. Sam Amonu, said on Monday when a delegation of the group paid a courtesy visit to the PDP presidential candidate noting that Atiku is the best choice to rescue the nation out of its current situation.
The National President of the group, Chief Dr. (Mrs) Oby Nwaogu in her submission said the purpose of the courtesy visit was to convey their gratitude to Atiku for all he has been doing in his quest to enthrone genuine democratic governance in the country.
She noted that they have hope in the ability of Atiku and Okowa presidency to rescue Nigeria from the brink.
Speaking in the same vein, another member of the coordinating team, Hon. Umukoro Jonathan thanked the Wazirin Adamawa for his steadfastness in the pursuit of peace and justice in the country and reiterated his belief in the capacity of the PDP presidential candidate to work for a better Nigeria.
On his part, the former Vice President while thanking the group for reposing confidence in him apologized for his unavoidable absence at the inauguration of the group. He appreciated the group for its loyalty and support assuring them that his victory at the polls will be a collective victory for everyone.
He observed that the country is at crossroads because of misgovernance. He decried the depreciating standard of living in the country as indicated by growing youth unemployment, escalating number of out-of-school children projected currently at 20 million, among others.
Noting that he is gender-friendly, he assured them that he would run an inclusive government that would put the country on a sound footing if given the opportunity.
