PDP presidential primary: South-south Ex-Agitators urge delegates to vote Atiku

By Shedrack Onitsha,

 Ahead of the 2019 the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary for the party ticket, a group under the umbrella of South-South Wings of Ex-Agitators (SSWA) yesterday urged PDP delegates to support the aspiration of Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, by voting for him, saying that he remains the only man fit to boot out APC government in 2019.

In a communiqué issued to journalists at the end of their closed meeting held in Benin, National Chairman, ‘General’ Paul Agge popularly known as Don Agge, the group said the only solution to reclaiming the PDP mandate at Abuja come 2019 is for the entire delegates and PDP National leadership to vote for Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming Presidential Primary.

The communiqué reads in part: “At the end of our Benin meeting, we resolved to continue sensitizing the masses especially the delegates for the 2019 PDP presidential primary on the need to support Atiku 2019 ticket.

“We have carefully ex-railed Atiku’s antecedents and have come to a conclusion that it is only Atiku Abubakar that can remove Nigerians from the ongoing poverty, stagnation and economic meltdown bedeviling the country which was caused by the APC led government.

The group while urging the national leadership to make the PDP primaries democratic also appealed to delegates from the 36 states of the federation to vote for Atiku Abubakar in order for PDP to reclaim presidency come 2019.
