February 22, (THEWILL) – A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto State, Alhaji Yusuf Dingyadi, has said the chances of the presidential candidates of the party, Atiku Abubakar and other candidates remain brighter because of his national acceptance.
Dingyadi stated this in an interview with newsmen in Sokoto. He described the party’s presidential candidate as a decent person capable of transforming the nation’s misfortunes.
He said the PDP presidential candidate lives a good and prospective life committed to nation-building with people’s interests.
Dingyadi, who is also the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications to the PDP National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, said Atiku is an advocate of goodness, peace, development, political unity and cohesion amongst Nigerians.
Speaking on why the party’s presidential rallies were shelved in both Taraba and Rivers states, Dingyadi, a member of the Media Advisory Committee of the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation, said the rally in Jalingo, was shelved due to unfavourable climatic conditions that prevented flight schedules while the issue of security prevented the rally in Rivers state.
“We have responsible political rallies because people came out despite the insecurity, fuel, and new naira notes scarcity in the country, ” he added.
He criticised those pedalling propaganda and mischievous comments to malign Abubakar’s personality, noting that such cannot be successful and will be doomed before and after the election.
He appreciated Nigerians, especially the PDP supporters across the country, who have come out from their villages, towns, and cities to welcome the presidential team during campaign rallies.
He, however, called on Nigerians to vote wisely and vote PDP in recognition of distinguished and qualitative candidates vying for various positions in the country.
”The chance of PDP is very bright, in fact, brighter than ever before, since we (PDP) left power in 2010,” Dingyadi added.
