Former vice president and PDP presidential hopeful,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has enjoined the PDP South West delegates to make a
better choice by supporting his candidature in the forthcoming PDP primary
elections.
Speaking at the inauguration of the South West Zone
Leadership of the Atiku Democratic Movement at Ibadan, chairman, All Atiku
Support Groups (AASG) Mr Oladimeji Fabiyi, said Atiku remains the candidate
with a clear vision and adequate strength of character to return PDP and the
nation back to glory.
He described Atiku as a bridge builder par
excellence, a unifier, a successful businessman and a complete democrat; adding
that Atiku has remained a loyal friend and a good in-law to the South West
people of Nigeria.
He further said as a demonstration of his love for
the South West, Atiku recently appointed a worthy son of the zone in the person
of Otunba Gbenga Daniel as the Director General of his Presidential campaign
organization and equally himself who occupies a strategic position in the same
Atiku campaign organization.
He therefore appealed for total support for Atiku
considering his enormous loyalty and genuine friendship he has shown to the
good people of South West Nigeria.
Fabiyi added that more than ever before the Nigerian
youths are equally taking the center stage in the journey towards 2019; adding it
is quite commendable and encouraging as everybody is now determined to effect a
change come 2019.
He emphasized that his principal, the Waziri of
Adamawa has already promised 40 per cent slot for the youths in his government
if he is voted into power in 2019.
He advised the youths not to take the opportunity
for granted as no other presidential aspirants or candidates have been bold
enough to openly commit he or herself to the youths as Atiku has proudly done.
Fabiyi concluded that with Atiku, Nigeria will be
safe and secured and more jobs will be created for our teeming youths with
abundant open doors of opportunity for every Nigerian to excel and collectively
build the country.
He then appealed to the youths and women to remember
that they have a role to play in the rescue of our nation. He declared that
2019 is a defining moment for Nigerians as a nation.
