Atiku begs Katsina PDP delegates not to abandon him

Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has pleaded with the delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party in Katsina State not abandon him in the forthcoming presidential primaries.

He said the Katsina people had always supported him, alleging that in the 2019 presidential election, the All Progressives Congress stole his result in Katsina and four other states and urged the people not to allow that to happen again in 2023.

He said, “In the 2019 general elections, Katsina State was among the states where APC rigged the election results. They also stole our results in four other states: Kano, Kaduna, Borno and Yobe. So, I am thanking the people of katsina State for supporting PDP and I hope this time around you will not allow them to steal your vote.”

Atiku made the appeal while addressing Katsina delegates at the PDP state secretariat.

“My brothers and sisters from katsina, first and foremost, you are the people who initiated me into politics. Secondly, you are the people that trained me in politics and most importantly, I would not have been what I am today without the support of the Katsina people.

“That’s why I want to ask you that is it this time now that you want to throw me away?”

Atiku also spoke on the five key areas he would focus on if he elected president in 2023.

He promised to unite Nigerians, restore security, law and order while ensuring that every citizen has a sense of belonging.

Atiku also promised to revamp the economy and tackle the problems in the Nigeria educational sector.
