At Kaduna Rally, Atiku Pledges to Restore Peace, Condemns Attack on Supporters •Saraki urges security agencies to probe violence Chuks Okocha in Abuja Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar,
Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, during his Kaduna campaign rally, pledged to restore peace to all parts of the country and revive manufacturing industries in the commercial city.
Atiku, who commended the Kaduna State electorate for massively voting for him in 2019, pleaded with them to do the same again next year. He said, “First of all, let me thank you for your support in 2019. Kaduna State gave me the highest number of votes in Nigeria. I have come here to pledge on behalf of the PDP that if you give us your votes, we will restore peace in Kaduna State.
“This is undemocratic and against the Peace Accord all parties signed up for just a few weeks ago. I urge President Muhammadu Buhari to call on all parties to call their supporters and members to order and to ensure that campaigns, just as with the elections themselves, are kept free, fair and safe.”
Okowa said, “We are privileged today to have a presidential candidate, who believes in Nigeria. Among all the presidential candidates, he is a pan-Nigerian, who believes that both the north and the south must work together for the good of all of us and we thank God for the life of Atiku Abubakar. “When we were going to Osun just three months ago, they were saying that PDP cannot do anything but when the results came out, PDP won Osun State. We won the state of the presidential candidate of the APC. That shows you how strong the PDP is.”
