Kogi People Have Rejected You And Accepted Atiku – PDP Campaign Mocks Tinubu

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation has said the people of Kogi State have rejected the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

In a statement on Sunday by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP campaign said the party’s mega rally held in Kogi over the weekend shows that the PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, has been accepted as the next president.

He added that the support shown to the former Vice President at the campaign rally is proof that the PDP will win in the state and others at the first ballot and further proof that Tinubu has been rejected by Kogi residents.

Ologbondiyan also said the campaign organisation also saluted the courage, resilience, and energy which the youths of the State displayed at the rally.

The statement reads: “The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation commends the people of Kogi State for coming out with a massively unprecedented crowd in solidarity with its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, at the State Rally held in Lokoja on Saturday.

“The massive support demonstrated by the people of Kogi State, especially the youths, towards Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) further confirms their decisiveness to vote for Atiku Abubakar as the next President of Nigeria.

“Our Campaign appreciates the support of various groups including professionals in various fields, government workers, traditional institutions, faith-based groups, the business community, traders, artisans, transporters, and farmers, among others, towards Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.

“The people of Kogi State amply demonstrated that Kogi, just like the majority of the States of the federation, is home to the PDP and that Atiku Abubakar will record a sweeping victory across Kogi State and others to emerge victorious at the first ballot at the close of the February 25th presidential poll.

“Our campaign salutes the courage, resilience, and energy which the youths of the State displayed at the rally, which signposts their preparedness to come out en masse to vote for Atiku Abubakar on February 25, 2023, and to stand in defense of their votes to the very end.

“The people of Kogi State, like the majority of millions of Nigerians in other States, have rejected the incompetent, violent, corrupt, and anti-people All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and they are eager to vote in Atiku Abubakar and the PDP which embody their hope, aspiration, and determination for a better nation.”

The PDP campaign also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to ensure that the forthcoming elections are free fair and credible.

It also encouraged Nigerians who are yet to pick up their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to do so in order to rescue the country from the ruling APC.

It added: “The Campaign charges the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to note the feelings and aspirations of the majority of the people and take steps to ensure free, fair, secure, and credible elections across the nation.

“The Campaign also encouraged Nigerians who are yet to pick up their permanent voter cards (PVCs) to do so in order to mobilize for PDP and end the misery which the All Progressives Congress (APC) has come to represent”.
