The Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) New Generation, yesterday, disclosed that the presidential ticket of Atiku Abubakar and his running mate Ifeanyi Okowa is the best for Nigeria at the moment.
at the moment.
The State’s Coordinator of the group, Ariyo Oluwaseyi, who also doubles as the National Youth Campaign Council (NYCC) Campaign Director of the group, made this known during the mop-up exercise aimed at reaching out directly to the people at the grassroots to canvass votes for Atiku.
Speaking to the media at the exercise that took place at Lagos West Senatorial District (Oshodi-Isolo LGA), Oluwaseyi reiterated the need to rally support for Atiku and Okowa ahead of the election coming up this weekend.
He said, “The Atiku, Okowa ticket is the best for the country at the moment and the need to support them and other candidates of the PDP to rescue Nigeria cannot be over-emphasised. We all are living witnesses to the level that our country has degenerated to in the last seven years of the administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“It’s crystal clear that the previous administration of the PDP was far better than the current administration in so many ways. The vast experience of Atiku in business and politics are key criteria that the electorates are banking on in voting him into power at the polls.
“To this effect, we all need to rally around the one person that is capable of rescuing us which is Atiku, hence our resolve to campaign vigorously for him.
“Our task has been made easy because Atiku is a man who is widely accepted in Nigeria and by Nigerians based on his antecedents, so, we are calling on all Nigerians to troop out en masse to vote for him and other PDP candidates during the election” he said.
Oluwaseyi led other Ward Coordinators of Lagos State PDP New Generation and youths in the Local Government Area to visit Ilasamaja, Isolo Area, Ago palace way, Ire Akari/Ishagatedo, among others, to interact with the electorates and share the Atiku/Okowa message with them.
