Members of the Presidential Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state have been charged to deliver the state for the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The director general of the council in the state, Chief Clarence Obafemi, on Thursday, January 3, said members of the council should see their nomination into the various committees as a call to service and a patriotic obligation to the people of Kogi.

TrackNews gathers that Obafemi spoke in Lokoja when the campaign council was formally unveiled and inaugurated.

He said: “We have a task at hand and we must take it seriously and work very hard to deliver it. We must be united and work assiduously towards ensuring that, by all legitimate means we deliver Kogi State to our great party.

“For the outcome of the election to favour PDP, all hands must be on deck and members of the party, affiliate organisations and supporters must work round the clock to ensure effective mobilisation of voters from their immediate environment.”

In his own remark, the chairman of the media and publicity unit of the council, Austin Okai, said: “Without fear of intimidation, we will directly engage voters and give them cogent reasons to vote for PDP in 2019.

“The turnout of party members and supporters to today’s event, which was publicised within very short notice, is a loud signal that the discontent has reached an all time high and the people have resolved to take their destiny into their hands by voting PDP and its presidential candidate.”

Meanwhile, TrackNews previously reported that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, was tipped to win the northwest zone of the country by a landslide.

Atiku’s victory was predicted by a group identified as North West Youth Mobilisation Forum for Atiku 2019.

The group promised to deliver landslide victories for Atiku and other PDP candidates in the region at the polls, which will be held in February 2019.

The group made the promise at its 7th year anniversary in Kano.

The Forum’s president Abubakar Shuaibu, claimed that convincing the electorate in the region to vote for Atiku would be easy because the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration had dragged the region into state of poverty and insecurity.
