Atiku woos Ondo voters for PDP gov candidate

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday called on Peoples Democratic Party members in Ondo State to support the party’s candidate, Agboola Ajayi, ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.

Atiku made the call in a press statement issued in Abuja by his media adviser, Paul Ibe.

Ajayi, the incumbent Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress and 15 others are contesting the election.

Atiku described the PDP candidate as a consummate politician who has what it takes to improve the welfare of his people.
The PDP presidential candidate in the 2023 election also argued that he was certain the people of the stqt3 would reject the continuity of an APC government.
He said, “The governorship election that is coming up in Ondo State this Saturday presents an opportunity for the people of Ondo State to elevate the condition of the state into increased prosperity. The APC, as it has been made clear to everyone, is a grossly unpopular party which does not have the interest of the people as a core objective.

“The people of Ondo State have an opportunity in Hon. Ajayi of the PDP to tell the APC that enough is enough. As leaders of the party, we shall provide all necessary support to ensure that the APC is not allowed to repress the wishes of the electorate in this election.
“This is also a sound warning to all election management officials and volunteers that the PDP will stand firmly against any malpractice in the Ondo governorship election.”

Continuing, Atiku called on the people of the state to troop out in large numbers to cast their ballots and ensure that their votes count.

“When the tide is high, it becomes too big to rig. The people of Ondo State are known for their forthrightness, and this particular election calls for eternal vigilance,” Atiku added.
