The wife of Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Mrs. Titi Abubakar has said her husband’s clamour for restructuring the country is aimed at bringing freedom to the federating units in Nigeria.
Mrs. Atiku spoke in Ilorin, Kwara state at the PDP women rally for Atiku/Obi presidential campaign organization.
She urged voters in Kwara state to go and collect their permanent voter’s cards (PVCs) ahead of February 16 and March 2 general elections in the country and asked voters to wait till results are announced to safeguard rigging.
She added that “I have brought you a message of hope. I am assuring you that the Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi presidency and vice presidency will signal the end of unemployment and poverty in the country.
“The refusal of President Muhammadu Buhari to assent to the Electoral Bill is a design to rig the forthcoming elections. I urge all of us to vote and guard our votes jealously. After the counting of the votes at the polling units I want you to follow them to the collation centres.
“They will come to you with money wanting to buy your PVCs from you. Collect the money from them and refuse to exchange your PVCs with money.
“My husband has great plans for the youth as he is an employer of labour. Our youths are not lazy at all. He has assured of wiping away tears from the faces of the youths.
“They claim to be fighting corruption, but it was during President Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice President Atiku Abubakar that all the anti-graft agencies were established.”
Earlier, Mrs. Margret Obi hailed the women for turning out enmasse for the rally, appealing to them to go and collect the PVCs.
“We also appeal to the women to come out massively and cast their votes for the PDP candidates at all levels. PDP is the only party that guarantees lifting us out of poverty, provision of education and assured future for our children,” the wife of PDP vice presidential candidate said.
