Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, CFR
Director General,
PDP PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ORGANISATION

I have just concluded my interactive session with the Christian Association of Nigeria. It was a rewarding experience for me and the leadership of CAN. My policy prescriptions to RECOVER Nigeria appears to align with the demands of the association greatly. We all agreed that there needs to be a restructured Nigeria that will be more inclusive and more secured with greater opportunities for citizens to fulfil their interests irrespective of tribe, tongue or mode of worship. Above all, I stressed the inevitability of CHANGING the CHANGE that has, in the past seven years plus, led us to a socio-economic and political cul de sac.

I thank the National Executive Committee of CAN for the opportunity to share my thoughts with them on the pathway to a New Nigeria. I look forward to other engagements with other critical stakeholders in the country in our quest to Recover Nigeria. -AA

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has promised to wipe out Boko Haram and help businessmen revive and expand their business in order jump start the economy if elected President come 2023.

He also promised to assist in putting in place policies to jumpstart businesses and help businessmen expand their business in order to revive the economy which is currently in a terrible state.

Atiku who spoke mostly in Hausa said, “What I want to pledge here in Gombe is to ensure that we give businesses the support to set-up industries that will give youths both males and females jobs.

“Recall it was the PDP that built the Dakin-Kowa Dam to provide electricity to the North-east and give farmers the opportunity to farm, I will create wealth and jobs in Gombe State, if you give me the mandate.

“I promise you that if you elect me what we have started, I will ensure that the electricity that will be provided from Dakin-Kowa Dam will be sufficient to the entire North-east.

“ I will enhance farming so that our farmers will have the opportunity to farm both during raining and dry seasons.”

On his other plans for the North East Geo-Political Zone, Atiku said, “Gombe, Bauchi, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe are all interconnected; therefore, I will ensure that we build roads to enable smooth trip within these states with ease and ensure that commercial activities thrive, most especially.

“I will return peace to the state because without peace all these pledges that I made cannot be actualized, I will wipe out Boko Haram. Book Haram is nothing.
We have wiped out Boko Haram in Adamawa, What will stop us from wiping out Boko Haram in Borno or Yobe or anywhere they are in this country. Therefore give us the mandate.

“When Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was the Prime Minister most of you were not born, dont you want another Tafawa Balewa in the North-east? This can only be actualised by voting PDP and here I am the one that will give you the opportunity to produce another Tafawa Balewa.”

Speaking in a similar vein, the Chairman, PDP Presidential Campaign Council and Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel said, “When PDP was in power, how much was a tin of milk, how much is a tin of milk today? When PDP was in power, how much was a bag of rice, how much is a bag of rice today? When PDP was in power, how much was one orange, how much is an orange sold today?

“We just want to let the People know that PDP is coming back to make sure that our economy bounces back, to make sure that our naira regain in strength, to make sure you have more milk in your tea.

“PDP is coming back to bring the economy back, to make sure there is light, to make sure no more darkness, to make you have access to many things you are not having now.“

Also the Director General of the PDP Campaign Council Tambuwual said, “We know that the Wazirin Adamawa is here at home in Gombe and when the PDP gets to power in 2023 Atiku will ensure security, peace in Gombe and Nigeria at large.

“We know that Gombe is a commercial center, we shall ensure that wealth is revitalised and bring development, commerce in Gombe and the country at large.

“Youths both male and female will get jobs in the country, farming will be revitalised and the country as a whole. I know the people of Gombe know this, which is the agenda of his government if elected.“

National Chairman of the PDP, Sen. Iyiochia Ayu, while addressing the crowd, appealed to the people of the state to vote for the party in all elections because it was the only political party which has the capacity to transform Nigeria. He noted that the party had done it before and was prepared to do it again

The Arewa Elders forum did a tremendous job of putting it house in oder. Most of the youth support groups have started distaning their self from BAT campaing train, more are to start pulling out.

Atiku is the solution, may God bless our leaders.

2023 election: We are confident of Atiku’s victory in Ondo State, says PDP

By Guardian Nigeria
20 November 2022 | 10:08 am

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, says its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will win the 2023 general election in the state.

The state chairman of the party, Alhaji Fatai Adams, said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Akure.

Adams said that the PDP won the state in the 2019 presidential election in spite of the fact that the All Progressive Congress (APC) was in control of the state.


He expressed confidence that the party is capable of repeating the feat in the forthcoming general election.

According to the party chairman, the 2019 election results showed that the PDP did not only win Ondo State but came first in the entire South-West

“So, we are ready and prepared to maintain that lead, especially now that we have two state governors in the South-West.

“We are working on how to improve on our performance in the last general election. We will not leave any stone unturned.

“We believe we can still maintain that lead and we are so confident that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will have a landslide victory in Ondo State because he has what it takes to lead the country,” he said.

Adams, who explained that the five-point agenda of PDP, tagged ‘RESET’, would help the party to attain victory, said Atiku had the capacity, experience and knowledge to lead the country out of the wood.

Adams, who denied that the party is currently facing any crisis, said that the five aggrieved governors were not fighting the presidential candidate but rather had issues with the national chairman of the party.

“By the special grace of God, nobody is rocking the boat of the party. The five aggrieved governors had made it clear that they are neither fighting the party nor its presidential candidate.

“They only have issues, not crisis, with the national chairman and it will not affect our chances in the coming general election.

“And nobody is pulling out of the party, they have made it clear enough. Pulling out to where, if I may ask,?” he said.

Adams, who emphasised that PDP is the only political party that could guarantee the survival of the country.

He pointed out that Ondo State had witnessed four administrations since 1999 and people of the state could rate them according to their performances, saying “the current government is a disaster to the state as nothing is working”.

The party chairman, therefore, called on the people of the state, and Nigerians at large, to vote for the PDP in the coming election in the interest of saving and and unifying the country.

“We need to vote for the party that will be sensitive to our plight and that will return the country’s economy back to where it belongs in the world ranking.

“The PDP government has done it before and we are ready to improve on our previous performance

“I am appealing to the electorates to cast their votes for PDP for them to enjoy true federalism where people will work together as one for the growth and development of the country.

“I can assure you that the PDP government will guarantee security of lives and properties, will revive our ailing economy, educational system, agriculture and bring good governance in general, if voted for,” he said.

Tinubu’s Shame in Jos

For President Buhari to be at the venue of the APC rally in Jos and refuse to speak is a clear sign that the President is not in total support of Tinubu’s candidacy. If a sitting president attends his party’s political rally and shies away from speaking is a clear message that he does not trust and believe in the candidature of the party’s candidate.

President Buhari enjoyed support from northern Nigeria, and now he fears that his defaming political personality would not add much value to his party. However, if he still had Tinubu in his heart, he would have grabbed the mic and said a word or two.

Since the emergence of Tinubu as the APC presidential candidate, President Buhari has not attended or endorsed the candidacy of Tinubu in any of the political rallies. It took the personal plead of the APC chairman and Tinubu for Buhari to even appear at the APC rally for the first time. When Buhari was contesting for President, Tinubu made several endorsement speeches in favor of Buhari at campaign rallies.

Things are becoming worse for Tinubu with his continued blunders in his political speeches. Tinubu is alleged to have avoided political rallies to prevent such embarrassment. For Tinubu to say God bless PDP instead of APC is a sign of a possible brain disorder called, Aphasia.

“People with Aphasia have some trouble with speaking and will have a mixture of problems with writing, reading, and perhaps listening. Symptoms can range widely from getting a few words mixed up to having difficulty with all forms of communication.”

Tinubu also made a similar blunder in the past when he forgot the name of APC; he said, “as members of the Action….” and then he froze. He had to be reminded that the name of the party was APC. A similar thing happened yesterday in Jos.

In the Jos rally, the APC presidential candidate had to be helped to walk down the stairs to the podium. Even Former President IBB was sarcastic when he asked Tinubu if the young boys around him were allowing him to rest. IBB was telling Tinubu indirectly that it is time for him to rest.

At this trying time, this nation does not deserve a physically and mentally weak president. Most people supporting Tinubu know that he is not the right candidate, but they still force themselves to support him to serve their sentiments. They are facing what is called cognitive dissonance.

“Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort a person feels when their behavior does not align with their values or beliefs. It can also occur when a person holds two contradictory beliefs at the same time. Cognitive dissonance is not a disease or illness. It is a psychological phenomenon.”

It is not late, and these are signs for those kinds of people to change their minds and do what is good for this country. For Tinubu, I advise him to relax and step down for his good because the campaign is getting more intense, and he might be unable to handle the increasing stress mentally and physically.

17 Heads Of Security Agencies: Atiku Slams Lopsided Appointments

November 17th 2022

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday, condemned what he described as the lopsided appointment of heads of security agencies by administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“PDP will form a government of national unity. We will bring members of the opposition who would have lost and then of course, we will move on from there. This is when only the ways to unify this country and we will now begin to move,” Atiku said during an interactive session with members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors.

“Today, we have 17 heads of various security agencies. All of them come from the North; I will not do that. I will make sure that every geopolitical zone is represented in these security outfits. This is also another way you can unify this country and give every part of this country a sense of belonging.

“By the time you double the strength of the Nigeria Police Force, maybe you will be talking about 700,000 or so. You will have reduced unemployment. So, we will extend that operation to the armed forces. By the time you finish doing that, you will find that you would have taken more than one million people out of the unemployment market.”

He expressed his intention to continue with the economic policies the PDP embarked on between 1999 and 2007, which according to him includes liberalising the economy and promoting the private sector to create jobs and wealth in simple, straightforward terms.

“Liberalising the economy is broad. Empowering the private sector is broad, and of course, continuing with the privatisation of our public enterprises. In other words, (we will create) a more private sector-driven economy,” he added.

The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has promised that if elected in the 2023 elections, he will support legislative measures transferring more power to other tiers of government.

Atiku made the pledge at an interactive session with members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors in Lagos on Wednesday. Correcting the misinterpretations of his comments on restructuring at a parley with the Lagos Business School Alumni Association, the former vice president said, “It is rather unfortunate that a section of the media reported my remarks at an event yesterday (Tuesday) which casts doubts on my readiness to implement my restructuring agenda.

“Let me therefore take advantage of today’s gathering of Nigerian media gatekeepers to state unequivocally that my restructuring agenda is intact and will be implemented from my first day in office.”


“Already, I have received a report from a team of constitutional law experts that I assembled to look into our constitution and highlight areas where there are items that can be moved to the concurrent and residual lists of the constitution.

“Let me assure you that if I am elected president next year, I will begin working on the implementation of that report on my very first day in office.”

Atiku, while fielding questions from the editors, said his government would work in sync with the private sector to fill the infrastructural gaps in the country.

So according to the forfeiture documents in Chicago Tinubu was 59 yrs in 1993 . That puts his age today at 88 yrs. While he's claiming 71 yrs on the documents he submitted to INEC? This is a serious case of perjury. What's INEC waiting for ?

Secondly.. A 70yr old cannot have 64yr old child, it is biologically impossible. This should nail him. No wonder he does not want any scrutiny or debates with other presidential candidates

No be juju be that

Ebonyi:

APC: 20%
Others:10%

Enugu:
LP: 75%
PDP: 15%
Others: 10%
Reasons: Because Peter Obi is very popular here and people won't vote for a muslim-muslim ticket. PDP still has some voters here hence I'll be distant second. Tinubu is not popular in this region at all but some APC states like Imo and Ebonyi will give him little votes because of APC structure.

Reasons: while this is Tinubu' region, many people won't vote him because of his antecedents, Muslim-muslim ticket and again. LP will be second here because of these.
APC will win for tribalistic reason anyways.

This will be the toughest region to call, LP will get votes in Christian dominated part of North Central, APC will get votes from APC states, PDP will also get votes because of some northern influence. There will be no clear winner here.

Reason: this region is Atikus region, he will get votes based on tribalism, however APC will become second because of existing structure there. Kwankwaso is all a little bit popular here while LP won't get much from this region.

Reason: Atiku will get a lot of votes here because of his popularity and Fulani heritage. Kwankwaso will also get votes as he's very popular here but still lacks structure. APC will get votes for Tinubu, however Atiku will most likely win this region.
Obi won't do well here.


Verdict: While I want Peter Obi to win this election and I think he's the best candidate, but Atiku seem to have the best chance because most of our voters especially in the north are not well informed, they don't know what they want hence they will vote along tribal lines.
I see Atiku winning because only PDP has the ability to secure 25% votes in 24% states and still have most numbers. If this doesn't happen, I see a rerun between PDP and LP.
Tinubu will be 3rd because Kwankwaso is going to be a spoiler for him in Northwest and Northeast, Tinubu is depending very much on this two regions to win, Atiku and kwankwaso will give him a tough fight.

the analysis is baseless, the analyser has no true picture of what is actually going on in the country, Atiku Abubakar will sweep all Nothern states, South south, North central, enough votes spread across the other two regions

May God reward him endlessly and crown his act of charity with the leadership of Nigeria. Ameen

JASONjnr:
There is no lie here.....

As it stands.....Anybody can trash Tinubu and Atiku put together.....


Keep inducement aside......Atiku and Tinubu are backward and unintelligent to debate sensibly and convincingly to win any election.

2023 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS; ATIKU ABUBAKAR MADE IT CLEAR THAT NIGERIA NEEDS A PAN NIGERIAN LIKE HIM, NOT HAUSA-FULANI, IGBO, OR YORUBA PRESIDENT

Kenneth Okey Anozie

One of the greatest attributes of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar which millions of Nigerians, and indeed the international community admire is his Pan-Nigerianess. Since the great Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, I will place Atiku Abubakar in his shoes; no Nigerian has pursued a pan Nigerian, indeed a Pan-Africanism agenda more than Atiku Abubakar.

He not only prides himself as a *Unifier*; he has practiced his pan Nigerian agenda with the kind of people that works with him for more than 30 years.

More than these attributes, Atiku Abubakar presents the mose audacious frank manifesto and programs that will *RESET* Nigeria; in the education sector, the economy, restructuring, human resources and capacity, and total gender and youth inclusion.

The two core of his agenda still remain total war on insecurities and total inclusion of all sections of the country in the area of heading the security architectures, and bringing to the national table for discussion all separatist agitations.

Atiku Abubakar is the kind of President Nigeria needs at this most critical times of ethnic divisions, religious conflicts, economic disasters and neo- corruption tendencies; a fantastically corrupt regime that prides itself in all these negative tendencies; the Buhari APC Tinubu Shettima arrangements.

Nigeria, more than in any season must divest itself of all these listed morass if we can survive as a country. Since Independence, no Nigerian politician has combined the sagacity of the great Zik, the progressivism of Awolowo, and the singleness of purpose of Ahmadu Bello as Atiku Abubakar who is now seen as the great *Unifier*!

As we always say; *IT'S ATIKU/OKOWA O'CLOCK NIGERIANS AGENDA* now.
