PDP excited by turn out at Kogi rally

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Sunday that the turnout recorded in its Saturday rally in Lokoja, the Kogi State Capital, is a significant sign of victory in next month’s presidential election.

In a statement by the party through the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization, it commended the people of Kogi State for coming out “with a massively unprecedented crowd” in solidarity with its candidate, Atiku Abubakar

“The massive support demonstrated by the people of Kogi State, especially the youths, towards Atiku Abubakar and the PDP further confirms their decisiveness to vote in Atiku Abubakar as the next President of Nigeria.” The party stressed.

Spokesman of the campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, who is also from Kogi State, said “the people of the State amply demonstrated that Kogi, just like the majority of the States of the federation, is home to the PDP and that Atiku Abubakar will record a sweeping victory across Kogi State and others to emerge victorious at the first ballot at the close of the February 25th presidential poll.”

According to Ologbondiyan, “the people of Kogi State, like the majority of millions of Nigerians in other States, have rejected the incompetent, violent, corrupt and anti-people All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and they are eager to vote in Atiku Abubakar and the PDP which embody their hope, aspiration and determination for a better nation.”

The Campaign charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to “note the feelings and aspirations of the majority of the people” and take steps to ensure free, fair, secure and credible elections across the nation.
