onuebonyi: 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

Do you know what happens to those who sit and wait for luck to visit them? They grow white whiskers waiting. Luck isnt coming to pay you a visit, you make your own luck.
Nobody is going to lead any revolution in this country. We are too diverse for that and not hungry enough either. Neither did the United States build a formidable country with prayers only.
We know Atiku is a master thief but we want to vote for him all the same. It'd be really foolish to cry later on when he corners our commonwealth.
Each and everyone of us has a vote each. Our votes versus their votes and you realize that democracy CAN actually be a government of the people by the people for the people.
Yes, it'd be nice if all the other smaller parties coalesce into one big party so that we have an alternative to the other two rotten tomatoes vying for presidency.
Hopefully the other smaller parties will come to their senses and present a single candidate worth voting.
Irrespective of whether they become politically astute or not before election day, neither Atiku nor Buhari is worth voting for. QED. I was not lauding the virtues of prayer or luck - I was highlighting the folly of relying on them instead of opting for a strategy. I don't even pray for myself, let alone pray for Nigeria since it's a waste of time. I merely telling you what IS. It is because I don't expect us to be saved by any of those options that I'm telling you about the devil's alternative, which is voting for Atiku. Life is about cold hard choices. A second term for Buhari would have catastrophic consequences for this country. With him, we're not just talking of corruption but a president who has no clue and does nothing when the country burns. That must be prevented at all costs and the only way TO BE SURE is to vote Atiku since the smaller candidates don't stand a chance. Voting the smaller candidates is a gamble, a PRAYER, that by some miracle, they'd win. And prayers, on their own, don't work. You know as well as I do that it's already too late for them to come together. And maybe you can tell me of one country where a third political party came together and was strong enough to oust the two big ones. There's a way these things work. Is Atiku a good candidate? No. Is he better than Buhari? You bet. The worst that can happen under him is a return to the looting that has become a part of our governance culture since 1986 and which the PDP is known for. With Buhari, whose only asset is a faux integrity, you get far worse than that. |
