A group based in the southeast called Committee of Friends G5 South East Zone, has concluded plans to deliver one million votes for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, in Abia State.The group has also vowed to sway the entire South-East voters for the PDP during the presidential election.
According to a press statement made to journalists in Abuja, the Coordinator of the group, Barr. Chinyere Chigbu who was the former Abia State PDP Vice Chairman, Abia Central Senatorial Zone, said that the Committee of Friends G5 South East Zone is determined to ensure that Atiku Abubakar wins not only Abia State but the entire Southeastern states.
He recalled that during the 2019 presidential election, the PDP scored 219, 698 votes in Abia State, which, according to him, was abysmal considering the over 1,932,892 eligible voters who could have voted to sway the election in favor of Atiku Abubakar.
Bar. Chigbu however, noted that “to this end, our sensitization and campaign drive will focus on the grassroots through village-to-village and ward to ward aggressive mobilization to ensure that Atiku Abubakar secures over 1.2 million votes in Abia state and over 85 percent of the votes cast in the South East in 2023.
“We don’t see any threat to us achieving this target because the Presidential candidate of the PDP is the most experienced and most prepared to take the country out of its current woes.
“Among all the top presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar has the capacity, the network, and the know-how to take the country to the next level and salvage Nigeria from total collapse.”
