Buhari-Osinbajo support group dumps APC, campaigns for Atiku

Buhari-Osinbajo Nationwide Supporters Group, a structure used to campaign for the election of Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo in 2015 and 2019 on the platform of All Progressives Congress has dumped the ruling party for the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, in the February 25 poll.

The group also asked Nigerians for forgiveness for “blindly supporting” the APC and installing an administration which had brought hardship.

National Coordinator of the Support Group, Danjuma Fachiwe Gwoza, announced this decision with other group members at a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.

He said, “Members of the President Muhammadu Buhari/ Yemi Osinbajo Nationwide Supporters Group wish to officially decamp and transmute her operations to the Atiku/Okowa Nationwide Supporters Group under the directive of PDP Presidential Campaign Council cil (PCC).

“Our group is a formidable conglomerate of political sagacious like-minded individuals made of different supporters’ group, such as: Artisan Youth Organisations. However, our membership strength now stands at 9,313,846.

“We contributed immensely to the votes recorded by INEC, which saw the emergence of the Buhari/Osinbajo victory at polls in 2015 and 2019 Presidential elections, respectively.

“The members of this conglomerate sincerely apologise to Nigerian, for our blind support given to the APC led bankrupt government that have failed to deliver on her campaign promise to the electorates. This colossal failure has caused the Nation unbearable quagmire

“We hereby use this golden opportunity to appreciate the purposeful and profound leadership privilege accorded the group by Distinguished Senator Abubakar Mahdi and Deputy Director General, Technology and system(PCC).

“High Chief Raymond Dokpesi in his admonishing statement encouraged the group to work assiduously to end this clueless era of the APC-led administration in Nigeria.”

He also said, “Therefore, the group has embarked on a continuous train-the-trainers’ Voters’ Education Program, primarily designed to enhance the electoral fortune of the Atiku/Okowa campaign mercenary.

“Our members are strategically located within the thirty-six State of the Federation, including the FCT, seven hundred and seventy-four Local Government Areas and the electoral Wards spread across Nigeria.

“The said mercenary had been given requisite electioneering training that would guaranty the desired win-win result for Atiku/Okowa in the forthcoming 2023 Presidential election.

“The group’s mandate also is targeted at 93,454,008 prospective voting population in Nigeria.”
