*Ortom boasts PDP will win BenueThe presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar, has said if he wins the February 25 presidential election, restructuring, a core desire of people of the South-west, would be a cardinal principle of his administration.
In a related development, Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom, at a rally in Oju and Obi local government areas of the state, yesterday, assured supporters of PDP that the party would be victorious in the 2023 elections. He disclosed that the type of restructuring he would introduce would give more powers to states and local government areas, insisting that restructuring of the country would be one of the cardinal agenda of his administration.
“Therefore, if you are living witnesses, this is an opportunity for you to vote out APC. Therefore, I want to appeal to you, the people of Oyo State, to support the PDP all the way, from top to bottom, and together, we can march into victory and progress for our great country.” “The PDP will introduce the reforms to ensure that the traditional institution takes its rightful place. The government will dialogue with the people of various sections and areas in the country. These are the things we plan to introduce when we come to power.”
Ayu, in his speech, commended party members for coming out in large number for the rally. He described Makinde as a true party man, who had the interest of the party at heart. “After the election, there will be no APC in Nigeria. They will disappear from the surface of the Nigeria air and back to the small parties that they were.
The Olubadan waded into the crisis rocking PDP, asking Atiku and other leaders to do everything possible to ensure reconciliation with Makinde. Other speakers, who commended Makinde for his developmental strides and for ensuring that the rally held, included Atiku’s wife, Mrs. Titi Abubakar; Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State; Jumoke Akinjide; and Senator Dino Melaye.
According to him, “The era of snatching ballot boxes is over. Now is the era of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System . With the introduction of BIVAS, you must be there at the polling unit to vote because the machine must capture you before you will vote. You should take this election very seriously.”
