Saraki Named DG, Atiku’s Presidential Campaign by onuebonyi: 6:18am On Oct 16, 2018 |
Saraki Named DG, Atiku’s Presidential Campaign · Dickson rallies former aspirants for candidate Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja Senate President Bukola Saraki has been named the director-general of campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. The appointment, which had been subject of media speculation for days, was confirmed to THISDAY this morning by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, who said zonal coordinators had also been named after long hours of meetings by the PDP hierarchy. The coordinators according to him are, governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto, North-west), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe, North-east), Samuel Ortom (Benue, North-central), Nyesom Wike (Rivers, South-south) and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi, South-east). Former Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, would coordinate the South-west. Ologbondiyan said Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Emmanuel Udom, was appointed Chairman of Fund Raising Committee, while former presidential aspirant, Alhaji Taminu Turaki, would head the legal committee. Others campaign officials, he said, would be announced in due course. Meanwhile, the party formally set the machinery in motion for the reconciliation of all aspirants that contested its presidential ticket in Port-Harcourt penultimate weekend in an attempt to rally them behind the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Although the primary was seen to be transparent and without rancour, the party still felt it should not take chances and asked its reconciliation committee headed Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson, to talk to the former aspirants and clear all possible grey areas. The reconciliation moves started yesterday with a visit to Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Waziri Tambuwal, and former governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, in Abuja. With Dickson were Delta and Taraba States governors, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and Mr. Darius Ishaku. Speaking after the meeting, Tambuwal accused President Muhammadu Buhari of maladministration, saying that the way the country was being run by proxy was unacceptable and won’t be allowed to continue after May 29, 2019. Tambuwal assured the party and Nigerians that he was committed to the success and victory of the party at the general elections in February, 2019. He stated, “We have had a robust and fruitful engagement on the way forward. And I have made my commitment immediately after the convention that I am going to support our candidate, Waziri Adamawa, Atiku Abubakar, 100 percent for us to have victory at the general election. “So, I am not wavering, I am not looking back. Work has started for us to ensure that the PDP family remains united and other lovers of democracy come and partner with us for us to ensure that we convincingly win this election. It is not about my personal ambition. “It is about this country. And all of the issues we have discussed, canvassed and traversed for during our encounter with delegates and party leaders, have remained there.” He said the misgovernance of Nigeria under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had to stop. “We want a situation whereby the President of Nigeria will be hands on on issues of good governance, respect for the rule of law and the way this country is governed. So, I have given my commitment and I mean it, I am out for it. By the grace of God, we shall support Atiku Abubakar and PDP to win elections throughout Nigeria”, he said. The Bayelsa State governor commended the former presidential aspirants for displaying maturity and spirit of sportsmanship after the Port Harcourt Convention, which was won by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Dickson who is the Chairman of the Committee said that the party had commenced series of consultative talks with all the aspirants and leaders of the party in the bid to retake political power from the APC in 2019. According to him, “I am leading a team of the committee of governors to interact and compare notes with our brother, His Excellency Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State. As you all know, he ran a great race and we are all proud of what he did and what he continues to do. We appreciate his statesmanship; we appreciate the way and manner he has been of help to the party consolidating the gains the party is making. “This afternoon, as part of our decision to go round, visit, encourage and interact with all our party leaders especially all those who indicated interest in the last presidential elections, we have held a fruitful meeting. “We are actually starting from here and would be leaving from here to visit our former national caretaker chairman and also hold similar consultative meetings with him.” On his part, the former caretaker chairman of the PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi urged Atiku to include all the former presidential aspirants so that they could galvanise support for him. He said while the aspirants went into the election as aspirants, they emerged collectively as a party. He said he had long years of national and political relationship with Atiku, which had not changed, stressing that the PDP would be victorious in the 2019 elections https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/10/16/dickson-rallies-former-pdp-presidential-aspirants-for-atiku/%3famp 26 Likes

Wow...anybody with their contact should pm me, please. I have a lovely proposal for them centred around the youths and securing their votes based on what the party can do for them. My proposal is juicy and on a first come first lockdown basis. But I'm open to all the campaign organizations. However, I might lock it down with just one that tickles my fancy and encourages me and the youths most. francegeorge62@gmail.com NB It's funny how after this post, the president had to talk about the youths and how Nigeria will be made better than Europe for them. The truth is, you can copy an idea all you want but implementing it will definitely show how clueless and un-original you are. I full ground. 50 Likes |

The announcement we have been waiting for since. Saraki is the best bet to head the organisation going by what we saw him do in Osun. Tambuwal would rally the support of the Caliphate, the most powerful institution in the North but I would have preferred Kwankwaso. Ortom is issa goal in North Central and he has the simplest job. All he needs to shout is herdsmen and show pictures of the mass grave and NC would fall into formation. Umahi is the weak link in SE PDP and with him as Coordinator, he would have no option than to sit up all we need him to do is to deliver his state. Dankwambo is another goal. A man well loved in North East, with him here pointing out the atrocities of buhari, NE would be on lock down. Fayose would be dropped, Gbenga Daniel, our incoming SGF, the first Yoruba man that would occupy that position after Olu Falae would lead us to victory in the SW. In SS, the ever rugged Wike would lead the charge and we are sure of 2.5 million votes in Rivers this time around. Zombies would shed blood! This list is highly Atikulated. Thank you Lord for giving us an Atikulated President. 156 Likes 10 Shares |
