Adeleke assures Atiku of entire Osun votes in 2023

BY TIMOTHY AGBOR, OSOGBO

Osun State governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke, on Wednesday, said the state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party would ensure that the entire votes in the state were delivered to the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 general elections.

Adeleke, while inaugurating the Osun State Chapter of PDP Presidential Campaign Council in Osogbo which consists of 305 members across the local government areas in the state, said the nation needed an Atiku presidency because the former Vice President of Nigeria has the most relevant manifesto among all the fellow contenders.

The governor-elect, the chairman of the newly inaugurated campaign council, urged members of the party to mobilise votes for Atiku and Ifeanyi Okowa ticket.

“I want to charge the council to deploy massively to deliver Osun State to the PDP at the Presidential, National Assembly and State Assembly election. 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 as I deliver our five-point agenda to the good people of Osun State. 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. Our task is to deliver entire Osun votes for Atiku /Okowa tickets. It is doable and we must deliver,” he said.

In his remark, the Director General of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Management Committee, Sunday Bisi, said Atiku has advanced security as the main thrust of his agenda, adding that: “the country is sinking on cracking security basement, requiring a pan Nigerian patriot like Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for retrieval intervention.

“Our party in Osun State is poised to lead the way and galvanize support of our people to deliver Nigeria with an overwhelming victory. If there’s any entity in the country the national leadership of our party can count on for a bumper harvest of votes, Osun will stand to be counted.

“While we won’t be tempted to join issues with jesters in APC promising their candidate a phantom one million votes in the state. I urge the campaign council stakeholders to stand up to the reckless joke and put them in their place as we did on July 16,” Bisi noted.
