Stating this, at the weekend, in Ikere-Ekiti, the Director of Media and Publicity, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), in Ekiti State, Chief Sanya Atofarati, added that a vote for the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, would rescue the nation from the grip of oppressors.
He gave the advice during the distribution of food items, cash and other materials to residents and party members by the PDP House of Representatives candidate for Ekiti South Constituency 1, Henrich Akomolafe.
Atofarati, who is the Zonal Publicity Secretary of PDP in the South West, disclosed that the experience and capacity of the former vice president, coupled with his manifesto, would turn things around for the better and improve the livelihood of the citizens, if elected.
He said: “Nigerians are not only tired of the Buhari-led government but languishing in abject poverty. Unemployed number of Nigerian youths is above 40 per cent of the population.
“During the 2015 presidential campaigns, the APC asked Nigerians to stone them if after six months no significant change is achieved in education, infrastructure, security, health and all. But today, Nigerians have been so battered by hunger, to the extent that they can no longer lift their hands to cast a stone. The once giant of Africa has be so molested that even Nigerian youths now prefer to live in Ghana.
“Today all our vibrant medical personnel have abandoned the country for the fear of uncertainty, hunger and insecurity. The Lord, who has seen our suffering as a people, has given us yet another opportunity to vote out bad leadership via the ballot. We must ensure that all hands are on deck to ensure vote Atiku to help us rescue the country from the claws of her oppressors.”
Atofarati commended Akomolafe, who is in his 30s, for the gesture extended to the people at Yuletide, stating that the PDP House of Representatives candidate remained one of the most successful and vibrant youths in the country, and would offer the people quality representation when elected.
He added: “As it stands today, Akomolafe remains the voice and hope of Nigerian youths, being the youngest House of Representatives candidate in PDP and other parties. This is indicative that Atiku’s presidency will benefit the youths.”
