Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged voters in Ebonyi South Senatorial District to vote for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Silas Onu, in Saturday’s by-election.
Abubakar on Wednesday in his verified social media handle, said the people of Ebonyi South Senatorial District, the Senate and indeed Nigeria stood to gain from Onu’s multiple set skills and the vibrancy of his youth.
“My appeal goes beyond Ebonyi State and connects with voters in all the 35 constituencies and nine states affected by court-ordered by-elections,” he said.
Abubakar who decried the state of insecurity in Nigeria, expressed hope that voters in Ebonyi, Yobe, Borno, Kaduna, Benue, Ondo, Taraba, Lagos, Kebbi, and others would make a bold statement in the forthcoming elections by supporting PDP.
“Our country stands at the cups of a new beginning, and the decisions that voters in the elections on Saturday shall make will determine how ready we are, as a people, to provoke the march to economic and national recovery.
“I will also like to advocate for a peaceful election this Saturday and urge the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use the opportunity of this by-election to redeem itself from the fraudulent and shambolic elections of 2023.
“I want to specifically urge members of our great party, the PDP and indeed, agents of other political parties participating in the elections to conduct themselves well.
