2023: Atiku Will Win With Or Without G5, Says Ex-Oyo Deputy Governor

Former Oyo State deputy governor, Barrister Hazeem Gbolarumi, has declared that with or without the G-5 Governors, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will win the 2023 presidential election.

The PDP chieftain who stated this while speaking in Ibadan on the Atiku/Okowa Freedom Walk, said the theme of the freedom walk was carefully chosen to reflect the current precarious economic, security and political mess that the All Progressives Congress-led federal government had plunged the country into.

He said,’’ Now that Nigerians have experienced the APC government and what they got was imaginable suffering, the difference is clear.

“Our people are going to bed hungry every night and they still have to sleep with only one eye closed because of insecurity as bandits, terrorists and common criminals prowl the land in search of victims.

“The Buhari administration has piled up debts. The infrastructure deficit can be seen in the absence of the most basic amenities. Most of our people are unemployed, young Nigerians have no choice but to dabble into cybercrime known as “Yahoo Yahoo’’, while others are fleeing Nigeria in droves.

“We are virtually in a hopeless situation. Another four years of APC will throw Nigeria into the stone age. But there is hope. Atiku will rescue Nigeria from the bondage and suffering.

“Atiku is a detribalised pan-Nigerian, a bridge builder with long-standing friends and associates in every nook and cranny of Nigeria who is acceptable to all ethnic groups and religious bodies in Nigeria,” he stated.

Also, former Minister of State for FCT, Oloye Olajumoke Akinjide, said that the grouse of the five aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), governors, named G-5 Governors, was not about the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, but the leadership of the party led by Dr. Iyorchia Ayu.

 She, however, assured that the lingering crisis be-devilling the party at the national level would be amicably resolved before the February 25 Presidential election.
