The Senatorial Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Borno South, Hon. Kudla Satumari Haske, says the massive turn out of people at a zonal rally to flag off his campaign has confirmed his earlier statement the party will win the entire North East.
Speaking to journalists in the aftermath of a mammoth crowd that attended the PDP rally organised in Biu Local Government area of Borno State, Haske said the people have seen the reality of life and are now determined to bring in a purposeful leadership to the zone.
According to him, the people of the North are determined to produce a president in 2023.
“Yes, there was a massive turnout in our rally in Biu, Borno State to tell us what exactly happened. We decided to flag off our zonal rally and my campaign for the senatorial District as the candidate.
“We joined it with our zonal rally where we all came together and went to our senatorial headquarters and the rest is what you see all over the news and social media. The unprecedented turnout of the crowd is a testament to the fact that what I have always said, still stands as you remember earlier in the year, I said, North East would rather vote for a presidential candidate than voting for the vice president.
“You can see on the streets, you can see all over the place, people were trekking long distances and what surprised us most was the fact that despite the sabotage of our plans to kick start the campaign rally, some efforts were made by some people within the Senatorial District to restrict our access to having transports.
“Handsome amount of money was given so that we would not be able to access transportation easily for the people but we were surprised that volunteers and other people came all the way and supported the movement of people from one place to another.
“Our billboards and campaign materials were destroyed. But you can tear our posters, you can pull down our billboards, but you cannot tear the love that the people of Southern Borno have for us,” Haske said.
