Atiku’s daughter: Why Nigerian students should vote for my father

Maryam, the daughter of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has urged Nigerian students and youths to vote for her father in the 2023 presidential election.

Abubakar gave the admonition while speaking at a summit tagged, ‘Anambra Youths/Students for Atiku’, in Awka, the Anambra State capital on Thursday.

She described her father as a strong believer in education and a candidate who would invest hugely in the sector to address its challenges, urging the youths to utilise their voting strength to vote for her father in the forthcoming election.

“Always believe in yourself, learn from past mistakes, and do not be easily distracted. Have a strong belief that with your voting strength, you can recover the country.

“In Atiku you see a man who believes in education. Apart from building a university, Atiku offers scholarships to over 250 students yearly.

“We urge you to mobilise more students and youths to vote Atiku because you will benefit from transformation agenda,” Obi stated.

The event was attended by thousands of students and youths drawn from various tertiary institutions and communities across Anambra State.
