PDP: Buhari, APC Jittery Over Atiku’s Acceptance In S/East, Other Zones

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the arousing and overwhelming reception of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the South-East was a portrayal of what to expect in other geo-political zones of the country.

The party stated that the unprecedented acceptance accorded Abubakar was a sign of the preparation of Nigerians readiness to show President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressive Congress (APC) government the way out of Aso Rock come 2019.

The party’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Thursday, said the PDP was aware of how the acceptance of its candidate has sent jitters to the APC and President Buhari, adding that it has having belied claims that Mr President and the APC were making inroads into the Southeast.

The statement said, “With the assemblage of all leaders of note in every sector from all the five states of the Southeast receiving our candidate, it is settled that President Buhari and the APC do not have any support in the zone.

“This acceptance could not have been less significant because the Buhari-led APC administration has no achievement, of any sort, in the entire zone.

“The PDP commends the people of the Southeast and Nigerians in general for their courage in collectively resolving to rally with Atiku and our other candidates to rescue our nation from shackles of the Buhari administration and return her to the path of good governance, national cohesion and economic prosperity”.
