2023: Group reaffirms PDP Presidential Candidate for Presidency

The Coalition of South East Support Groups for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that he is the only template Ndi-Igbo can use to secure the presidency.

The National Coordinator of the coalition, Chief Ejikeme Odumegwu, said this in Enugu while inaugurating the South-East coalition group in Enugu State.

Odumegwu charged all members of the PDP in the South East to be united and deliver Atiku Abubakar in 2023, stressing that with his candidacy, they can right the wrong and restore peace and progress in the nation.

Odumegwu also urged Ndigbo not to throw away their political energy to an inchoate and uncoordinated political move and frenzy of the moment, stressing that Atiku is the only chance for Igbo presidency in 2027.

While calling on the group to be focused on Atiku/Okowa project, I reminded them that “the coalition group is to coordinate, sensitize and educate the people of South East on the reasons and circumstances of the emergence of Atiku Abubakar and his Vice as PDP flag bearer.

“We in the PDP must be united, especially in the Southeast, to deliver Atiku Abubakar as president come 2023 because it is only on this template Ndi-Igbo can secure chances of getting to the presidency.

“We will not engage in the usual jamboree campaign but a grassroots mobilisation built on a pragmatic mass base.

“All hands must be on deck down to each polling booth to ensure the victory of Atiku Abubakar in 2023 for unity, peace, and progress in our country.

“There is no rationale for a Muslim/Muslim ticket. It tactically portends that our political process can be ignored, which is saddening. 

“With Atiku Abubakar’s candidacy we can right the wrong and restore peace to this nation,” he said.
