The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, flagged off its 2023 presidential campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital.
Speaking at the ceremony, the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, urged Nigerians to vote the party to ensure good governance, restore unity, salvage the economy and ensure the security of the nation.
According to him, Nigeria’s economy was better under the PDP hence the need for voters to return the party to power.
Also addressing the rally, National Chairman of the party, Sen. Iyochia Ayu, thanked Nigerians for turning out for the flag-off of the campaign.
Ayu said PDP’s campaign train was leaving the station slowly to enable those who were yet to get on board to join the train.
He said Nigerians were anxiously waiting for PDP to return to power to rescue the country and to restore the economy.
“We will restore the economy and there will be jobs for the teeming youths of this country; we need your support to restore the country. PDP will not disappoint you,’’ Ayu said.
In his earlier remarks, the state governor, Udom Emmanuel, said that the PDP’s presidential candidate has the capacity to unite the country.
Emmanuel, who is also the Chairman of the party’s Campaign Council, said that the campaign was to revitalise Nigeria and to restore hope to the country.
He urged Nigerians to support the presidential candidate of the PDP to eradicate poverty; hunger and insecurity from the country come 2023.
Highpoint of the campaign was the handing over of the PDP flag to Abubakar by Ayu.
