The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has vowed to secure the nation’s capital, Abuja, and other parts of the country if elected as president in the 2023 general election.
Atiku equally promised to make life better for Nigerians, saying his administration will ensure universities do not go on strike if elected as president.
The former Vice President said this while speaking at the PDP presidential rally held at Eagle Square in Abuja on Saturday.
He further hailed the PDP members in Abuja for their loyalty, saying the party did not take it for granted.
Atiku said: “We have no reason to believe you won’t support us again. We are here to pledge that if you support us, we will give you all your entitlements, appointments and other demands, including constitutional review.
“In the process of restructuring, we will give you all what belongs to you. PDP will fulfil all the obligations to you. We are not taking your loyalty for granted. We will pay back but not with hunger and insecurity.

“We shall protect and secure Abuja for your own safety. You know my five-point agenda, I will unify the county; no part of the country will be left untouched. Peace for everyone. These I promise you.”
Also speaking at the rally, the party’s vice-presidential candidate and Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, said Nigerians were tired of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government, urging the people to vote for the PDP in the 2023 general election.
“We need to rescue our people from where the APC has left us. We must work together with youths, women and elders to collectively steer the ship of this country to safe harbour.
“The people are tired of the APC government, they are angry and hungry. Nigeria requires a man with experience to rescue the country and Atiku is the only candidate that has solutions to the problems of this country,” Okowa said.
Others at the event were PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu; the Director-General of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; amongst others.
