The presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of the Peoples (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, has reiterated his commitment to ensure that Nigerians have quality education and a thriving economy if the country’s next president is elected.
Atiku, who pledged his latest campaign in his home state of Adamawa on Saturday, also vowed to ensure good governance and a peaceful country.
The former vice president praised Nigerians for what he called the warm reception he received from people everywhere he visited during campaign rallies.
Atiku said the success of his campaigns is an indication that Nigerians have accepted the PDP.
He charged Adamawa voters not to disappoint Nigerians who accepted his candidacy.
“Today is the last day of our campaign. I want to thank all Nigerians for showing solidarity. I want to assure all Nigerians that we will not let you down. We will make sure we have a peaceful country, a thriving economy, and a good education, and we will return power to the states. I want to reiterate those 5 key points. In Adamawa, it is a golden opportunity for me to be elected.
“Make sure you vote for me. Don’t be fooled by any propaganda. I want to ask you to vote for all the PDP candidates for the state assembly. The combination of me and (Governor) Fintiri will be amazing. Please return the PDP in the state and vote for the PDP in the Chair. Please don’t let the rest of Nigerians down, go to your local government, units and homes. Let’s record the highest votes in this state,” he said.
Vice-presidential candidate Ifeanyi Okowa said Atiku is the right man to bring hope to the people.
He said the PDP would make sure the university strikes are addressed.
He said: “I haven’t seen a rally like this before. We thank you for coming to support his son, Waziri Adamawa.
“Thank you for giving us a leader to give to Nigeria, a wonderful man who understands Nigeria.
“Our students are worried about education, businessmen are worried about the collapse of their businesses, and farmers are also worried about insecurity. But don’t worry, help is coming, in Atiku. Mobilize en masse and vote for Atiku on February 25.
“Atiku is the only one who can ensure the future of Nigeria. He has been tested and is able to deliver. Other candidates want to use Nigeria to learn,” he said.
