Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has called on the electorates to vote for the party and its candidates during Saturday’s supplementary elections, scheduled for some parts of the country.
Atiku while wooing the electorates said in a press statement, signed by his media adviser, Mr Paul Ibe, on Thursday, that voters should storm polling units at Adamawa and Kebbi states where supplementary polls will hold on April 15, to vote for PDP governorship candidates, as well as candidates vying for federal and state legislators in other parts of the country.
The statement quoted Atiku as saying, “In both Adamawa and Kebbi where supplementary elections shall be held on Saturday, I wish to make a special appeal to the voters in the respective polling units where elections shall be taking place to make sure that the PDP enjoys overwhelming support through their votes.
“It is an established fact that the All Progressives Congress has failed the people of this country and, especially, in Kebbi State, the more reason it is incumbent on the electorate to vote them out and return the PDP,” the politician noted.
Following the conduct of the February 25 and March 18 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission scheduled supplementary governorship elections in Adamawa and Kebbi states, five Senatorial Districts, and 31 Federal and 58 State Assembly constituencies across the country having declared the first ballot inconclusive.
