Presidency 2023: Atiku woos Lagos PDP delegates, urges stakeholders to unite, win Lagos for Lagosians

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, has approached PDP stakeholders in Lagos State to support his bud for the party’s presidential ticket in the preparations for the 2023 general elections. Atiku, during a consultation meeting with leaders and delegates of the PDP at the Ikoyi residence of Chief Olabode George on Friday in Lagos, appealed to PDP leaders and members in Lagos State to come together as a united party ahead of the upcoming 2023 general elections.

Atiku maintained that it is important for the PDP in Lagos State to come under one umbrella. He encouraged the party stakeholders in the state to unite and win Lagos for Lagos people in 2023.

The former vice president stated: “As you all know, the major theme of my campaign is unity. But I think we should share the same gospel of unity with the PDP in Lagos State. “This call will require shifting of position and common understanding. But this is the sacrifice that we all have to make to ensure that the PDP wins Lagos State.

“I have talked to leaders and elders of the party inside and I made a similar call on them. I am here with all of you too who are esteemed members of our party to please give the necessary support to our leaders and elders in making sure that the party is united.”

Chief Bode George also remarked that the message of Atiku about unity is well taken and it is an appeal that he is committed to.

Chief George stated: “it is not in doubt that Atiku knows Nigeria very well and Nigeria knows him too. The next election is the last battle of Berlin and it is necessary that we go into it with all the power and elements that we have.

“In Lagos PDP, we shall be united. It is what we must do to win the next election.

“In this upcoming election, Nigeria needs someone with the experience, capacity and deep knowledge of this country and you, Waziri, fits into that perfectly.

“We wish you well in your campaign. I like the way you ended your remark about winning Lagos for the people of Lagos. We must end the era of Lagos belonging to a stranger.”
