Former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the people of Ondo State to vote for the party’s governorship candidate in Saturday’s election.

 

Atiku urged members of PDP in Ondo State to mobilise overwhelming support for Ajayi’s victory because the All Progressive Congress, APC, is grossly unpopular.

 

In a statement by his media aide, Paul Ibe, the former Vice President described Ajayi as a consummate politician with the skills and experience necessary to not only rally the party towards a successful outcome in the upcoming election but also to enhance the living conditions of the residents of the state.

 

Atiku said: “The governorship election that is coming up in Ondo State this Saturday presents an opportunity for the people of Ondo State to elevate the condition of the state into increased prosperity.

 

“The APC, as it has been made clear to everyone, is a grossly unpopular party which does not have the interest of the people as a core objective.

 

“The people of Ondo State have an opportunity in Hon. Ajayi of the PDP to tell the APC that enough is enough. As leaders of the party, we shall provide all necessary support to ensure that the APC is not allowed to repress the wishes of the electorate in this election.

 

“This is also a sound warning to all election management officials and volunteers that the PDP will stand firmly against any malpractice in the Ondo governorship election.”
