The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday visited Enugu State where he reechoed his pledge to rebuild the country. Abubakar, a former vice president, was accompanied on the visit to stakeholders by his running mate Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. He arrived at the Akamu Ibiam International Airport and was welcomed by the host Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and other party faithful.
At a meeting with stakeholders, Abubakar restated his love for Ndigbo which he said led to his choice of Igbo men as running mates in 2019 and for next year’s election. He also reassured them of his commitment to restructure Nigeria and enthrone true federalism. On his part, Governor Okowa maintained that the PDP will unite Nigeria and rebuild the economy from its fallen state.
For the host, the state is well positioned to give the main opposition party a block vote for the 2023 election, while representatives of the five South Eastern states at the event also endorsed the Waziri Adamawa.
