Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has advised the people of Enugu and the South-East to be in the mainstream of Nigerian politics (the PDP) as that is the only way that can bring about the prosperity, economic development, the peace and the security they yearn for.

Alhaji Atiku said this at the PDP presidential campaign rally held in Enugu, the Enugu State capital on Monday..

The PDP presidential candidate made it clear that Nigeria is geared towards electing a PDP government and advised the people of the South East not to be an exception and do not be a minority.

The next government, he pointed out, is going to be formed by the PDP.

Atiku said, “my fellow brothers and sisters, people of Enugu State I want you to continue believing and I want you to continue supporting the PDP because PDP is Enugu and Enugu is PDP.

“I want to let you know that this country is geared towards electing a PDP government, do not be an exception and do not be a minority.

“The next government is going to be formed by the PDP.

“Therefore as you have always been, be in the mainstream of Nigerian politics because that is the only way that can bring about the prosperity, economic development, the peace and the security you are looking for in this part of the country and the country in general.

“So, we want to thank you very much indeed for turning up in great numbers to attend this rally and we promise you Enugu State will continue to receive the required attention it has always received”, Atiku said.

While also speaking at the rally, the National Chairman of PDP, Dr Iyorchia Ayu said, “I can tell you that voting for APC will not solve the problem of Nigeria. Vote for PDP and let’s continue all that we have been doing under PDP, so that Peter Mbah will develop and work hand-in-hand with Atiku Abubakar. “Those who come to deceive you to vote for the other parties, because they vote for Labour party, they vote for APC.

“In the next eleven days, Atiku Abubakar will emerge as your next President with Ifeanyi Okowa as his vice-presidential candidate.

“I want to assure you that immediately after that, the next governor will be Mr Peter Mbah. I don’t have much to come here and campaign to you because is like already talking to the converted you are all believers in PDP”, he said.
