The people Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday tool its presidential campaign rally to South-West, with Ondo State being its first port of call
The presidential aspirant, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa were first received at the palace by the royal father of the land, Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, Odundun II.
Speaking to the youths, Atiku emphasized Youth Empowerment as his number one priority.
“…I have also undertaken to ensure that.
“Our young men and women, we promise you that we will set aside enough money to ensure that we empower you for your jobs, for your security, for your families.
“That is why in our policy documents, we said we are going to set aside $US10 billion to make sure we provide small and medium enterprises for young men and women to create jobs and to empower themselves.
“It is our number one priority: we must empower our young men and women so that they can have a brighter future for themselves and their families.
“…Our people of Ondo state, we shall by the grace of God provide enough funding for education so that our universities can continue with their work.
“…Not what the APC is doing today. For more than eight months universities were closed and simply because they don’t care about their education; they don’t care about their future.
“We promise it will not be the same again,” Atiku vowed.
Also, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba and other party leaders from Ondo State, charged supporters with votes:
“…As One, We Can Get It Done! Together, We Shall #RecoverNigeria #WeWantPDPBack,” he chanted.
Meanwhile, Atiku earlier met with leaders of both Christian and Muslim faiths in Akure, the state capital, promising them “an all-inclusive government that will accommodate different persuasions.”(VON)
