United Kingdom (UK) Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to bring to bear, his wealth of experience as former vice president of the country to rescue the nation from the economic doldrums it has been dragged into, if elected in 2019.
The PDP Chapter stated this in a statement signed by its interim chairman, Mr. Osahon Igiebor and nine other members, and made available to newsmen in Benin City.
“A big congratulations to the Waziri of Adamawa, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar for his emergence as the flagbearer of our great party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Your selfless service to your fatherland has not gone unnoticed and has finally given you the chance to bring prosperity to the nation and succour to the masses.
“We are confident that you can bring to bear your wealth of experience as the country’s former vice president and also your experience in the business world to facilitate a quick and effective recovery of our ailing economy under the APC.”
Igiebor while commending the leadership of the party for peaceful primaries across the States, noted that the willingness of other co-contestants to work together with the winner to rescue the country from total collapse indicates a high level of maturity of the party members.
“We want to congratulate all the aspirants for the sportsmanship shown before, during and after the whole exercise. The level of maturity shows that the party now parades the calibre of leaders who can rescue our ailing country from the desperate grip of the APC who are draining and bleeding the country dry in its entirety.”
To ensure free, fair and credible election, and its winner declared accordingly, the Chapter solicits intervention of the international community.
“This is to alert the international community that going by the recent shenanigans of the ruling party and the compromised INEC, all efforts must be made to prevent a reoccurrence of what happened in Ekiti and Osun States, especially in Osun where what can only be classified as day light robbery of mandate transpired.
“These are echoes of what we suspect might be in the plans of the APC.
“We are calling on the whole world to take note so as to prevent the subversion of the peoples will.”
Other signatories to the statement are, David Francis Okoro, Daniel Jayeola, Pastor Austyn Komon, Duke Chidi Nwafor, Nora A. U. Roberts, Mrs Judith Edewor, Timothy Ero and Edwin Igiebor Jackson.
