Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has made a plea with his supporters to follow him to the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party for the purpose of submitting his presidential nominations and expression of interest forms.
The former Vice President spoke in Abuja when his supporters presented him with the party’s presidential nomination and expression of interest forms to enable him to take part in the PDP presidential primary slated for between October 5 and 6.
As stated by him, the action will be sending a strong signal to the party about his popularity and influence, stating that it will leave the party with no choice of handing him the presidential ticket against 2019 Election.
He said, “The undertaking I’m going to give you is that it is our job together, and I promise you we are going to do it together.
“Let me once again extend to you my greatest administration for this gesture you have done to me and I believe as you purchased the forms so you will also run around to make sure that I have been duly nominated from different parts of this country and that when I go to submit the forms I will again enjoy your company and support.
“And on that day let us overwhelm the PDP Secretariat, let us bring Abuja to a standstill. I bet you, by the time we overwhelm the Secretariat and bring Abuja to a standstill, the PDP will have no alternative than to give us the ticket.”
