THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State of Osun has vowed to deliver the state for the candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the February 23, 2023 presidential election.
Caretaker Chairman of the PDP in Osun, Dr. Adekunle Akindele, stated that over 1million votes would be delivered for Atiku in the state.
Adekunle stated this during the launch of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council held at Imole House, Osogbo on Wednesday.
He stressed that the party has been instructed by the Governor-elect, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, to deliver over a million votes for Atiku/Okowa, noting that they are set to achieve that.
The Chairman said: “We have the instructions of his Excellently, the Chairman of the Campaign Council, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, to deliver over a million votes for the PDP presidential candidate of our party. It is doable and we are set to deliver.
“Our task is well spelt-out – deliver your unit at all cost. We are to take the campaign to the grassroots and ensure we turn out the votes for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. We have the full mandate of our Governor-elect who will be leading us from the front as the Chairman of the campaign council.”
Speaking at the event, the Governor-elect, Adeleke, listed several reasons why Nigeria needs an Atiku presidency, just as he charged the council to deliver Osun for the PDP in the presidential, National and State Assembly elections.
Adeleke said: “Our victory at the governorship election will be incomplete unless we deliver at the federal level. As your Governor in Osun State, I need a President of our party at the federal level to support me to deliver our five-point agenda to the good people of Osun.
“An Atiku presidency will strengthen our state and assist us to surmount the many challenges facing state governance.
“Nigeria needs an Atiku presidency because he has the most updated, relevant and responsive manifesto among all presidential contenders. His plan for Nigeria fits into the aspirations of Osun people for restructuring of the federation, for local government autonomy, for anti-corruption, for better infrastructure, for national unity in diversity and for good governance.
“Our votes must go for Atiku Abubakar because he is the most tested and trusted with sterling records of performance in and out of government. A combination of Atiku Abubakar and Dr Okowa at the presidency will take Nigeria to a prosperous level locally and internationally.
“Let us march out as we did during the governorship election to again win Osun with even bigger margins for PDP.”
