2023:Atiku brings campaign to Anambra, woos Ozigbo

A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has been described as the only person with the capacity to stop Chief Bola Tinubu from becoming the president of Nigeria in 2023.
A delegation of Atiku Abubakar Campaign Caretaker Committee led by Chief Raymond Dokpesi stated this when it paid a visit to Valentine Ozigbo, the Anambra State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the November 6 poll at his country home in Amesi, Anambra State.

Dokpesi said the visit was to inform Anambra people that Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President of Nigeria and 2019 PDP Presidential Candidate was once again aspiring to contest for the president in 2023.

He said "the Waziri( Atiku) is the right person that could match Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu" should he eventually emerge as the presidential candidate of APC".

He said Atiku, if elected, would ensure that "South East's interest would be highly protected", as exemplified earlier by Waziri with the choice of His Excellency Peter Obi as his running mate".

While making a rallying call to Igbo to mobilise massively and join the PDP, to boost the party's membership ahead of the 2023 elections, Dokpesi said Anambra had been at the forefront of producing leaders of Nigeria and had shown commitment to PDP as a party over the years.

He said," We have come to seek and solicit your support for the presidential aspiration of Waziri Atiku Abubakar and to assure you that Atiku Abubakar is in the best position to unify Nigeria and protect the interest of his in-laws (Ndigbo)," Chief Dokpesi said.

Dokpesi lamented that Anambra missed out on having "the services of a dogged fighter" by failing to elect Valentine Ozigbo during the 2021 gubernatorial election while declaring that the forces that worked against the PDP candidate "cannot stop his light from shining".


Dokpesi expressed profound appreciation for the great hospitality extended to them and the reception, which he described as "warm and exceptional", adding that Anambra was the 30th state visited by the group.

He said the concept of rotational presidency was meant to prevent the emergence of "Super Nigerians" by allowing people from every part of the country to lead. He also added that PDP had technically zoned the presidential ticket to the North by electing Atiku as its flag-bearer in 2019.


The Atiku team also had in the entourage Engr. Olajide Adeniji, who acts as the secretary to the team, Emeka Donald Nwachukwu and Chief Obunike Ohaegbu, Mr Olumide Opeewe, Hajia Hassana Dada Shuaibu, Mr Adai Edwin Adai, Mr Ado Datti, and Amb. Bin Abbas.

Speaking, Valentine Ozigbo thanked the Atiku campaign team for finding him worthy of their visit and expressed admiration for Dr Dokpesi's commitment, noting that he was encouraged by his consistency for the PDP. Ozigbo also appreciated the media mogul's support during the last Anambra State governorship election.

While commenting on his perception of Atiku Abubakar, Ozigbo said that he looked out for character and competence in a leader and considers the former vice president as "eminently qualified to vie for the presidency of Nigeria".

He added that nobody would doubt Atiku's capacity to lead, "but there is a need to note the sensitivity around the clamour for power shift".

Touching on the issue of zoning and rotational presidency, Ozigbo described it as "sensitive" and called for "a high level of emotional intelligence" and "balance".

He said by saying that credible South-East leaders would need to come together and agree on the direction after considering all factors.


Ozigbo was joined at the meeting by some PDP stalwarts, including his running mate in the November 2021 election, Dame Azuka Enemo (Owelle); two state lawmakers, Hon Onyebuchi Offor and Chuka Ezenwune; three former State Chairmen of PDP, Benji Udeozor, Ejike Oguebego and Pandola Okwuosa; former lawmakers at the Federal and State levels, including Hon CY Egwuatu, Hon KG Enemuo, and Hon Tim Egboka; some key stakeholders of the party including Chief Sunday Ezeobiora, Chief Tony Offiah, Chief Chike Ezechukwu, Chief Kenneth Ezeoke, Dr Richard Okechukwu, and several others.

Members of State EXCO of PDP were also present, including Sir Ejike Mgbemena, the Treasurer; Chief Okechukwu Okpala, the Financial Secretary; Mr Ogom Izukanne, the State Youth Leader; and Nze Sunny Umenne, the Chairman of PDP in Aguata LGA. Also, former State Youth Leader of APGA, Comrade Magnus Eziokwu, was present.

Several directors of the PDP Guber Campaign Council for 2021 and men and women Frontliners in the 21 LGAs were also present, including former State Woman Leader, Mrs Love Ebe, Dr Mariam Alike, Izuchukwu Oraelosi, Amaka Ofojebe, Hon Sylva Abasilim, Chinedu Ofomata, and several more.

Rubbish...

I'm Yoruba but I support Igbo presidency for equity and performance sake

Wring timing meet, Waste of money.

Yeeee...

I am Igbo and if Tinubu want to contest for the presidency he as every right. He is the best candidate the south can put forward in 2023 if we remove irredeemable hate n chronic bigotry the Igbos have for a man that never stole a dime for them while Peter Obi caught with over 250M cash is Lagos is protracted as a saint.

am from south, an uroboh, neither tinubu/atiku I wish to be president. Party aside, Both have been in the system since at least, 1992 gang that has ruined the loves of those in their thirties and younger. Most people don't know this cos of hand me down food money from politicians, I time, they will understand. I prefer osinbanjo/fashola. If I may ask, when were you born? If you were born in the 1990s, u were born when tinubu was a senator and atiku a governor.

Men Nigeria is finished.

Honestly if you can leave the country to a better place, do so for you and your children.

There are just too many daft people in Nigeria and their population is not decreasing anytime soon.

Atiku get money to waste sha.. He is super rich sha

2023:Atiku brings campaign to Anambra, woos Ozigbo

This is sad for our democracy.

So everybody is not campaigning for Tinubu. Even Atiku Abubakar and his team is campaigning for Tinubu.

I was not surprised when I heard Orji Uzor Kalu, Umahi, Kinsgley Moghalu and other clowns Presidential candidates talking about Tinubu instead of telling Nigerians what they can do to bring us out from the pit that Buhari has dragged us. But for the Cameroonian bisexual who is believed to be a big wig to now also start discussing Tinubu and inversely campaigning for Tinubu, I feel dejected and has lost hope in Nigeria.

Obviously, Tinubu is the only contestant in the forth coming election.

See what you wrote in a previous post

Why won't they shutdown. They are the preferred bank for most multinational companies like P&G. Now P&G has stopped active operation in Nigeria starting from January 1. A lot of companies are shutting down and in the process of shutting down as we are speaking now due to the adverse economic situation of this country. May God see us all through the last year of this directionless government of Buhari. Don't be deceived by the "going digital" claims they are making. The truth is Nigerian economy is now too unfavorable for them to work in.

So first you admit that the economy is bad, but then your foggy brain now tells you it’s Tinubu that will make things better?

Gosh! Some of you are sooo daft men, it hurts, and you are hurting others with your daftness

“Things are bad, things are bad, let’s bring in Tinubu”... how do you even tie your shoe laces?

Silly.

Peter Obi is more educated and better qualified to be President with Atiku as his deputy.

Why can't Atiku be Obi's vice?

Atiku is a former vice presido to Obj.

Comparing atiku to obi is like comparing elephant to ant.

I will advice atiku to step down and support senator Authur Okowa for president.

Nigerians but support equity... Uh, check my PROFILE if you need help with your dissertation, assignment, or thesis.
