As the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar rounded up his campaign in Adamawa State with promise to end hunger and insecurity, his wife and princess of Adamawa, Rukayya Atiku pleaded with voters to vote for him for the sake of her respected father.
Speaking at the rally in Yola on Thursday, Atiku urged fellow Adamawa people to show appreciation to other Nigerians who picked him as presidential candidate by massively voting for him.
“Today is my last day (of campaign). I have not come here to campaign but to say I have come home. The rest of Nigeria has campaigned for you by giving your son a ticket.
“What I want to say on your behalf is that we are grateful to all Nigerians for giving us the opportunity to elect the president from Adamawa State, from the Northeast”, he stated
Accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of mismanaging the economy and failing to protect citizens, Atiku warned voters against casting votes for President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Don’t vote for the APC, because they brought hunger, poverty and insecurity. So don’t vote for them on Saturday,” he said.
Rukayya, the daughter of well respected monarch, Aliyu Mustapha who ruled for more than 50 years urged the electorate to remember the legacy of her late father and vote for his son-in-law.
His senior wife, Titi Abubakar assured the electorate that her husband would not steal public funds because he had enough money, saying Adamawa should rally behind its son this time around.
In his address, the national chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, said the PDP would resist any attempt to postpone the polls, warning INEC against rigging the elections.
He therefore charged the people to sack the APC government both at national and state levels to bring about rapid transformation of the economy.
