A non-governmental organization
under the aegis of Atiku Rescue Nigeria Campaign Mission, ARNCM, South-East
Geopolitical Zone, has urged the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to give
Presidential ticket to the former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
The group noted that Atiku is the
only option for PDP, if the party wants to reclaim power in the 2019 general
election, adding that the former vice president is the only aspirant that can
march President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group made this known in a
press statement signed by the South-East Zonal Chairman, Hon. Godwin Obasi, and
the Secretary Mr Okechukwu Eze and made available to journalists in Abakaliki,
capital of Ebonyi state.
Obasi, however commended the
former vice president for storming the south east zone, in particular Ebonyi
state to canvass for support for his presidential ambition, adding that Atiku
is the only person that is loved by Igbo’s.
“The visit of Atiku Abubakar to
S-East zone is speaking for its self, when we were at Akanu-ibiam International
Airport Enugu, it was like no other person remaining in the South East. The
terminal was filled by different support groups.
“Igbo people love Atiku and
believe in him because of his good nature. He is our in-law. Atiku is the only
person that can rescue Nigeria from disintegration. He is also the only person
that can transform the economy of this nation.
“I don’t think that there is any
other presidential aspirant that would have kind of clout that Atiku has,
especially in the south east.
“The kind of ovation that Atiku
has, shows that the masses are already behind him. I’m assured that Atiku will
emerge as the PDP presidential candidate in the 2019 election.
He noted further that it is time
for the PDP, through the former Vice President to takeover power from APC,
stressing that President Muhammadu Buhari has lost his popularity and cannot be
voted into power again by Nigerians.
“Buhari, from what is happening in
this country is no longer popular and many factors are already working against
him. He lacks the knowledge and capacity to tackle some challenging facing this
country which may be as a result of his age.
“Atiku is what this country needs
now to make sure that this nation overcome the recent crisis that is bedeviling
it, especially with the wanton killings of innocent citizens and destruction of
properties in the country.
“Atiku is the best option for PDP,
he has what it takes to move this country forward. He is an experienced
politician that has followers in all the parts of the country. He has the
contact and the experience and I know that PDP knows the capacity of Atiku.
“The best thing that will happen
to PDP is to give Atiku ticket as its Presidential candidate and with that I’m
rest assured that PDP will return back to power in 2019,” the statement reads.
