Atiku To Supporters: ‘Let’s Overwhelm PDP Secretariat, Bring Abuja To Standstill’

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has appealed to his supporters to turn out en masse and accompany him to the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to submit his presidential nomination form.

This, Atiku said, will inform the PDP of his popularity and leave the opposition party with option other than to give him the party’s ticket for the 2019 presidential election.

The former Vice President said this on Friday while receiving his PDP presidential nomination form that was picked up on his behalf by his supporters at the party’s secretariat in Abuja.

Atiku said, “The undertaking I’m going to give you is that it is our job together, and I promise you‎ we are going to do it together.

“Let me once again extend to you my greatest administration for this gesture you have done to me and I believe as you purchased the forms so you will also run around to make sure that I ‎have been duly nominated from different parts of this country and that when I go to submit the forms I will again enjoy your company and support.

“And on that day let us overwhelm the PDP Secretariat, let us bring Abuja to a standstill. I bet you, by the time we overwhelm the Secretariat and bring Abuja to a standstill, the PDP will have no alternative than to give us the ticket.”
