Rain At Atiku’s Campaign Flag-off A Blessing – Tambuwal

Drizzles of rain cascaded gently from the sky as Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar stepped up to the podium to deliver his address at the flag off of his campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State yesterday afternoon.
Before delivering his address, the former vice president and his vice presidential candidate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, were given flags of the party to signal their endorsement as topmost candidates in the forthcoming 2023 elections.
Earlier the director general of Atiku campaign team, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State described the event as historic.
In a statement yesterday by the special adviser on media and publicity to the governor, Muhammad Bello, he said the 30,000 seats ‘Nest of Champions’ stadium in the state capital was agog and bristling with spectacular displays, song and ululations by groups of party supporters who have been waiting for hours as the motorcade of Atiku drove in.
Tambuwal urged Nigerians to join the party and candidates in the mission to salvage the country, assuring that the party and the campaign team “present the most competent of all those that are running for the post of president in the country.”
He said both Atiku’s and Okowa “have character, capacity and competence to rescue Nigeria, observing that the other party’s ethos is against the constitution of Nigeria. From day one they have been trying to sow the seed of discord in the country.”
