The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday told the people of Katsina State that the late Major General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, anointed him for the position of Nigeria’s President since 1993, urging them to make it a reality despite the complex nature of Nigerian politics.
Mr. Abubakar said this in Hausa language while speaking at a PDP rally at the new Katsina Karakanda Stadium.
He said, “I appeal to you, Katsinawa (Katsina people) to let late Yar’Adua’s wish for me become a reality. Vote for me so that hunger and poverty will be banished from Nigeria. Vote for Yakubu Lado as Katsina governor also so that our state (Katsina) will regain the developments that the APC has denied it since.”
Mr. Shehu Shema, a former governor of Katsina State also urged Katsina people to vote for Abubakar and all the PDP candidates in the forthcoming elections.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a person who can rule Nigeria now. The election is not about individual; rather, the election is about voting for a right person who has the experience, the wherewithal to reunite Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar is the right person for the job. If you vote for him to become Nigeria’s next President, he would banish hunger and poverty from the country; he will also ensure that Nigeria takes her rightful place in the comity of nations,” Shema said.
Despite the fact that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, President Muhammadu is from Katsina, a gigantic crowd attended the PDP rally.
